Description: The Sweet Life in Paris by David Lebovitz Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Like so many others, David Lebovitz dreamed about living in Paris ever since he first visited the city in the 1980s. Nearly two decades later, he finally moved to the city of light--only to find that it can be a glorious, maddening place for a foreigner to live. Publisher Description From the New York Times bestselling author of My Paris Kitchen and LAppart, a deliciously funny, offbeat, and irreverent look at the city of lights, cheese, chocolate, and other confections.Like so many others, David Lebovitz dreamed about living in Paris ever since he first visited the city and after a nearly two-decade career as a pastry chef and cookbook author, he finally moved to Paris to start a new life. Having crammed all his worldly belongings into three suitcases, he arrived, hopes high, at his new apartment in the lively Bastille neighborhood. But he soon discovered its a different world en France.From learning the ironclad rules of social conduct to the mysteries of mens footwear, from shopkeepers who work so hard not to sell you anything to the etiquette of working the right way around the cheese plate, here is Davids story of how he came to fall in love with—and even understand—this glorious, yet sometimes maddening, city.When did he realize he had morphed into un vrai parisien? It might have been when he found himself considering a purchase of mens dress socks with cartoon characters on them. Or perhaps the time he went to a bank with 135 euros in hand to make a 134-euro payment, was told the bank had no change that day, and thought it was completely normal. Or when he found himself dressing up to take out the garbage because he had come to accept that in Paris appearances and image mean everything. Once you stop laughing, the more than fifty original recipes, for dishes both savory and sweet, such as Pork Loin with Brown Sugar–Bourbon Glaze, Braised Turkey in Beaujolais Nouveau with Prunes, Bacon and Bleu Cheese Cake, Chocolate-Coconut Marshmallows, Chocolate Spice Bread, Lemon-Glazed Madeleines, and Mocha–Crème Fraîche Cake, will have you running to the kitchen for your own taste of Parisian living.
