A review by e_ellson
Солодке життя в Парижі by David Lebovitz

3.0

The Sweet Life in Paris is more recipe book than I expected - probably 25% of the pages are actually recipes for various dishes, some related to the chapter and others not so much (but they do all sound delicious). It was a humorous extended complaint and love letter to Paris all in one. The books seemed slightly patchwork though - I don't imagine chronology wasn't at the forefront of the author's mind when he wrote it, and so sometimes I felt like things could have been explained a tidbit better. I really did find it informational though; an insight into Paris from someone who has lived there long enough to have formed an educated opinion, yet who grew up in the states as well.
