PARIS — My Paris Kitchen: Recipes and Stories — David Leibovitz

| /

“David Lebovitz is a rare specimen: both a terrific storyteller and a brilliant, uncompromising recipe writer. His lighthearted, almost satirical style is combined with far-reaching knowledge of food and its context. I’d follow him blindfolded on this journey to the City of Light.” 
— Yotam Ottolenghi, coauthor of Jerusalem, Plenty, Plenty More, NOPI
 
“David Lebovitz is a chef who can write better than most food writers, a writer who can hold his own in any restaurant kitchen in the world, and, most of all, a guy who simply rejoices in food and cooking. This may be his most personal cookbook, describing all facets of his cooking life in Paris, with great stories, information, and recipes. I need two copies of this book: one for the kitchen and another by my reading chair.” 
— Michael Ruhlman, author of Ruhlman’s Twenty
 
“Opening this beautiful book is like opening the door to David’s Paris. Of course, you get great recipes, but you also get to wander the world’s most delicious city with a friend who knows it well and is excited to share it with you. A treat for those of us who love French home cooking, Paris, and David’s take on it all.” 
— Dorie Greenspan, author of Around My French Table

My Paris Kitchen: Recipes and Stories is a tasty collection of stories and 100 sweet and savory French-inspired recipes from popular food blogger David Lebovitz, reflecting the way Parisians eat today and featuring lush photography taken around Paris and in David's Parisian kitchen. David trained as a pastry chef in France and Belgium, and he worked worked at the iconic Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California for twelve years, before moving to Paris.

It’s been ten years since David Lebovitz packed up his most treasured cookbooks, a well-worn cast-iron skillet, and his laptop and moved to Paris. In that time, the culinary culture of France has shifted as a new generation of chefs and home cooks—most notably in Paris—incorporates ingredients and techniques from around the world into traditional French dishes. 

 In My Paris Kitchen, David remasters the classics, introduces lesser-known fare, and presents 100 sweet and savory recipes that reflect the way modern Parisians eat today.

You’ll find Soupe à l’oignon, Cassoulet, Coq au vin, and Croque-monsieur, as well as Smoky barbecue-style pork, Lamb shank tagine, Dukkah-roasted cauliflower, Salt cod fritters with tartar sauce, and Wheat berry salad with radicchio, root vegetables, and pomegranate.

And of course, there’s dessert: Warm chocolate cake with salted butter caramel sauce, Duck fat cookies, Bay leaf poundcake with orange glaze, French cheesecake...and the list goes on.

David also shares stories told with his trademark wit and humor, and lush photography taken on location around Paris and in David’s kitchen reveals the quirks, trials, beauty, and joys of life in the culinary capital of the world.

IRELAND - Historic Pubs of Dublin with Frank McCourt

| /

A good puzzle would be to cross Dublin without passing a pub.

— James Joyce, Ulysses

Looking for that one place to quench your thirst for history, legendary writers, beautiful sights, warm and wonderful people, and, of course, a good pint?

Then what better place than Dublin, Ireland? And, if you can't make the trip right now, or if you are planning a trip, then what better guide than The Historic Pubs of Dublin?

Especially when notable Irishman and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Angela's Ashes, Frank McCourt, serves as your guide to tell and show you the rich story of Dublin through its most historic pubs, which date back hundred of years. 

I have to share that my husband, Bill, was executive producer of this wonderful show, and I can't tell you how incredibly warm, funny and gracious Frank McCourt was! He was the perfect host and guide to Dublin, its history and its pubs — many he had spent a great deal of time in while a student at Trinity College.

Frank passed in 2009, just one year after doing this show. The world lost a very talented and gentle soul, with an impish smile, incredibly wry and quick wit and an unforgettable twinkle in his eyes. He was very proud of being able to share Dublin with others via The Historic Pubs of Dublin, and I know you will enjoy it as much as he did making it for you!

In addition to the visiting and learning the stories of Dublin's legendary pubs, The Historic Pubs of Dublin will be take you to many of Dublin's must-see attractions, such as Trinity College, Dublin Castle, St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Dublin Writer's Museum, Jameson Distillery, Guinness Brewery, Grafton Street and the city's beautiful parks.

Frank McCourt's informative, yet whimsical style, is perfect for sharing valuable insights into Irish culture and history, as well as telling the history of Dublin and Ireland through the lens of its historic pubs — and its literary masters such as James Joyce, Oscar Wilde and Brendan Behan, who were frequent visitors. 

He will take you to visit Kavanagh's, the gravediggers' bar, (John) Mulligan's, a tabernacle to the serious drinker, and to the musical Blue Light nestled in the foothills of Dublin. He will invite you to share a bit of 'craic' at Doheny and Nesbitt, listen to Dublin's finest Irish traditional music at O'Donoghue's, then cap off your tour at the 800+ year-old Brazen Head which, according to McCourt, "...doesn't look a day over 400."

The Historic Pubs of Dublin truly is an entertaining and enlightening look at legendary Irish pubs — that still are Dublin's most popular, hundreds of years after they first opened their doors — as well as the city's and Ireland's history and related historical settings.

This 60-minute DVD is a great trip for the armchair traveler, and it definitely should be required viewing before your first (or next) trip to the Emerald Isle. Sláinte mhaith!
