marianneo 's review for:
This book should be mandatory reading for first-time visitors to Paris!
I found myself unable to put it down - it was highly entertaining and absolutely hysterical in parts. Lebovitz has a real knack for describing the differences, clashes, and philosophies of American and French cultures in a most humorous way... and he really gets it. He really gets the stereotypes on both sides and, more importantly, isn't snobby about exposing any of it. It's refreshing.
I haven't tried any of his recipes, but the friend who lent me the book has and I can say through several taste tests that the man knows his deserts (especially ice creams).
