About this listen

 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.

As an Australian I sometimes find American contemporary non-fiction writers hard to relate to. Other authors are too caught up in an American point of view of the world. With this in mind I found David’s perspective very relatable and an incredible insight into what living in Paris is really like for an expat. The structure of this story is very succinct and very easy to follow via audiobook. My only issue was the recipes, which in audio format, were slow and distracting from the story - I found my self skipping them every time they came up.

Amazing vivid view of Paris
