## Description

A collection of stories and 100 sweet and savory French-inspired recipes that reflect the way Parisians eat today, featuring lush Parisian photography “David Lebovitz is a rare specimen: both a terrific storyteller and a brilliant, uncompromising recipe writer.”—Yotam Ottolenghi In 2004, David Lebovitz packed up his most treasured cookbooks, a well-worn cast-iron skillet, and his laptop and moved to Paris. In that time, the culinary culture of France has shifted as a new generation of chefs and home cooks—most notably in Paris—incorporates ingredients and techniques from around the world into traditional French dishes. In My Paris Kitchen , David remasters the classics, introduces lesser-known fare, and presents 100 sweet and savory recipes that reflect the way modern Parisians eat today. You’ll find Soupe à l’oignon, Cassoulet, Coq au vin, and Croque-monsieur, as well as Smoky barbecue-style pork, Lamb shank tagine, Dukkah-roasted cauliflower, Salt cod fritters with tartar sauce, and Wheat berry salad with radicchio, root vegetables, and pomegranate. And of course, there’s dessert: Warm chocolate cake with salted butter caramel sauce, Duck fat cookies, Bay leaf poundcake with orange glaze, French cheesecake . . . and the list goes on. David also shares stories told with his trademark wit and humor; and lush photography taken on location around Paris and in David’s kitchen reveals the quirks, trials, beauty, and joys of life in the culinary capital of the world.

Review: A masterpiece of a book. - If I could give this book more stars I'd do it. David's writing is captivating. This is the first cook book I've actually read. It helps that this is my form of cooking. It's my gig. I took some food service courses back around 1991 after I graduated from college, so I'm not a rookie by any means. I got this book last Friday. I spent a few hours with it on Saturday and on Sunday I entertained with the multigrain bread and the Coq Au Vin. I followed the recipe for the Coq Au Vin to a T, although I don't use measuring devices. I used the best quality ingredients I could find and spent about $14 on a bottle of Cote du Rhone. Wow, this meal was just amazing. The bread was cooked in a 7 1/4 quart Le Creuset Dutch oven. It looked exactly like the picture in the book. On to Monday. We had the day off and I decided I'd make the Coq Monsieur. I still cannot describe how delicious this sandwich was. It was so far beyond any sandwich I've ever tasted. The béchamel lends itself so well to the compte or gruyere. I am not kidding when I tell you to make this sandwich with the best ingredients possible and surrender yourself to your doctor the next morning. If you're ever going to die eating a sandwich, this will be that time. Third night in a row, it's now Tuesday. I made the ribeye steak with the mustard butter and frites. For the steak, I chose the cilantro, hickory salt and chipotle powder. I seasoned the steaks (very thin small ribeyes I like to use) and let rest in the fridge for over an hour while the frites soaked. I used fresh thyme for the frites. Wow!!! The frites were golden and crispy That mustard butter made this perfectly seasoned cut of beef sing. The best ever. Wow!!!! Just wow. Flavor explosion. The recipes in this book are so nicely balanced. I love everything about this book. My wife and I have a flat rented in the 8th for September of 2015 and we will be cooking some of David's recipes while were there. Maybe David will be down wind of it.
Review: So fun to read! - Admittedly I haven’t made a single recipe in this book - I just had shoulder surgery but I can’t wait to try. More importantly 😂 it’s a great read. Yes, I read cookbooks like I do novels. So I’m sitting out on my deck with a coffee and croissant from a French style bakery in town, in a robe while most of the U.S. is melting ( you gotta love CO) enjoying this beautiful book full of stories and pictures. It’s my hope to someday attend short culinary courses in Europe (France, Italy) - this book gives a great picture of everyday cooking in Paris. This guy is a great writer 📚

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stories coupled with great recipes and techniques
*by C***E on January 1, 2015*

This is a good book. It's fun to read. The stories he shares capture Paris and France remarkably well. But more than that the recipes are dooable and delicious. Yes, D.L. is a pro with many years of experience but he has given us enough guidance that even the space or pot challanged can produce quite reasonable results. Even though he writes in Paris and I'm on an island in the Pacific Northwest he conveys a sense of support while working through the recipe at hand. I suspect that this book will become my go-to source for some time to come. Today it will be duck breast with potatoes in duck fat and braised kale! A few days ago it was the Far Breton. The chicken stock was my best yet. Did I say it's fun to read? I find myself skipping the morning news to read a few pages with my morning coffee. Far, far more relaxing..............
