The Sweet Life in Paris: Delicious Adventures in the World's Most Glorious--And Perplexing--City by David Lebovitz

5.0

I first got to know David Lebovitz through his amazing recipes, so I subscribed to his blog and follow his posts with great interest. I eagerly expected this book, and now that I've read it, I must admit that it was a delicious experience. While nothing close to humble, he's not the typical arrogant American, and he's funny as hell. I never expected to laugh so much while reading a chef's memoir. His remarks about life in France, and Paris in particular, were insightful, informative, and I suppose they might prove quite useful even for the casual tourist. I'll definitely look up his Paris Kitchen.
The narrator for the audio book had the perfect french pronunciation, but was otherwise somewhat monotonous for my taste. I wonder how this book would have sounded read by Tim Gerard Reynolds...
