I'm an American living in France since 1983 in the beautiful seaside resort town of Biarritz. I love to cook and-have-been Recently concentrating on desserts. I Was Planning a 'girlfriend' trip up to Paris and cam across 'The Sweet Life in Paris' just before my trip. David Lebovitz HAS really hit it on the head with His running commentary of what it's like to be an American living in France. Everything that he writes about the French I have Experienced first hand. This stuff is too funny to make up! I Was laughing out loud while turning the pages. I'm looking forward to Trying His recipes are scattered That Throughout the book. I Took advantage of Reviews some of the insider's tips while in Paris and visited Reviews some of His favorite haunts like, G. Detou (pronounced I of all) to pick up ingredients (chocolate chips, pistachio flour) and the fascinating aussi shop, The Vert d'Absinthe, at 11 rue d'Ormesson Where I purchased this to try Absinthe Some Duplais His Absinthe Cake recipe on page 74. I'm safe I'll enjoy the recipes in the book aim Even If There Were not Any recipes this Could Easily book stand alone with just the narrative on French life as seen through American eyes. Would this book be a great gift to-any expats living in France you know anyone or schedule a trip to France. Thanks David!
