Bienvenue à la Sweet Life

A reading map for The Sweet Life in Paris by David Lebovitz

Have you ever had the urge to pack up your life and move to Paris? How about trading in that desk job and becoming a celebrated pastry chef and cookbook author? 

You might not get the chance yourself, but you can read about David Lebovitz who, after a life altering event, packed up his pots and pans leaving San Francisco for the dizzying world of Paris... it didn't hurt that he was already a celebrated pastry chef and cookbook author. 

This food/travel/recipe/memoir follows Lebovitz as he tackles the complexities of everyday life in Paris, from getting dressed up to take out the garbage, to etiquette when entering a leaving a shop. 

Each chapter begins with a lesson in Parisian culture and ends with a mouth watering recipe. 

The Sweet Life in Paris is a great way to prepare for a visit to Paris or at the very least let your dream about Paris from your armchair. 

Lebovitz includes tips on where to find the best croissants and chocolates; how to order coffee the Parisian way; and how to guard again the locals' penchant for cutting line. At the very least you will laugh your way through chapters such as "What They Say Versus What They Mean" and "Lines Are For Other People".
