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


I will be in Paris for a week in July, so books about France have been catching my eye.

This one is written by David Lebovitz, cookbook author and pastry chef. He writes short little essays about his adjustment to living in Paris. His observations are quite funny and witty. He also includes recipes. At the back of the book, he lists bakeries and cafes that serve, in his opinion, the best hot chocolates and pastries. I'm thinking I should make a copy and refer to it while I'm exploring Paris.

An enjoyable book, especially if you're interested in French culture. Not a book I'm raving about, but I definitely enjoyed reading it.
