David Lebovitz
Best-selling author and world-renowned chef David Lebovitz continues to mine the rich subject of his evolving expat life in Paris, using his perplexing experiences in apartment renovation as a launching point for stories about French culture, food, and what it means to revamp one's life. Includes dozens of new recipes.
When David Lebovitz began the project of updating his apartment in his adopted home city, he never imagined he would encounter so much inexplicable red tape while contending with perplexing work ethic and hours. Lebovitz maintains his distinctive sense of humor with the help of his partner, Romain, peppering this renovation story with recipes from his Paris kitchen. In the midst of it all, he reveals the adventure that accompanies carving out a place for yourself in a foreign country - under baffling conditions - while never losing sight of the magic that inspired him to move to the City of Light many years ago and to truly make his home there.

By the time Daniel (sp) came to inspect the apartment, I was about off my rocker! I thought for sure David would have given up. But no-he powered through it with much more grace than I could have. Bravo! His apartment will have stories to tell for years to come, as will the bar stools.
Also loved the recipes. I don't bake but I could picture him preparing the food in his new kitchen as I listened, and I hoped he'd remember to use the faucet correctly. ;-)
Interestingly, the narrator was telling of the 'ing' sounds in language-yet he does not pronounce that sound.
I'm addicted to stories about Paris
