Ebook About Bestselling author and world-renowned chef David Lebovitz continues to mine the rich subject of his evolving ex-Pat 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.Book L'Appart: The Delights and Disasters of Making My Paris Home Review :
I've used DL's cookbooks for years and have not only loved them, I've also bought them for others. His rib recipe, for example, is the only one you'll ever need. Period.Hence, I took a chance on this book. The problems are:1) This is a Paris version of A Year in Provence which is not a bar anyone should aim for and the semi-plagiaristic tone just bothered me. Also, A Year is more about living in Provence and going through a renovation -- stress the former. L'Appart is more about renovation and, oh, by the way, the author also happens to live in Paris, but the only real snippets of Paris that you get are with sleazy contractors, inefficient suppliers, and almost criminally negligent government officials. If I want renovation stories, I can get them elsewhere, like This Old House.2) The burning need to have at least one -- and frequently many, many more -- French words in each paragraph gets tiring. I speak, read, and write French (although not nearly at DL's level), but even I found it annoying very quickly. Noting how many different words there are for forks or sinks, for example, is a nice touch since it's rather alien to us Americans. But he goes way overboard.3) And, finally, you quickly lose any sympathy for him. DL made so many bad decisions, bad choices, and showed such little common sense that you can't even feel sorry for all the trouble he had. He admits to his own failings readily which is good. But he complains more about others than about himself. Renovations are hard. My wife and I have lived through a house under renovation and it was our first. But never in our wildest dreams did we consider telling contractors to do things without being given a price. DL did things like this -- and worse -- over and over and over. Instead of feeling bad for him, I felt like saying, "Sorry, you deserved it. Stop trying to make me feel sorry for you"Maybe this deserves 2 stars, but I can't do it. If you like DL's writing and recipes, get something else (particularly My Paris Kitchen which is a gorgeous book filled with fantastic recipes). All this book does, truly, is lower your opinion of a good writer and chef/baker. I'd rather keep the opinion I developed through My Paris Kitchen. I am a several years admirer of David Lebovitz. I greatly enjoy his blog and his attitude about food. I bought his cook book three years ago as a Kindle book so that I could 'take it' with me for my 4-months-out-of-the-year stay in Spain. However, after receiving his recent blog post announcing the publication of l'appart, I bought not only this new publication, but the hardback edition of My Paris Kitchen. I happen to be very visual and take particular pleasure in photos of dwellings and what people love around them in their homes, I bought l'appart based, in great part, on the photos he posted with the excerpt from the book. I found both delightful and very easy to relate to with amusement after my own experiences living in Spain for 20 years. So, imagine my disappointment when l'appart arrived and I found not a single photo of the space he found and what he turned it into. Especially that most precious of it's rooms: the kitchen. Sigh.So that's why my review has only four stars. That fifth star would have gone to the photos.
