OP: My Paris Kitchen (signed first printing)

Ten Speed Press, 2014. Hardcover. Near Fine. Signed first printing.

David Lebovitz, an expat pastry chef living in Paris, is one of the original food bloggers. Combining stories of his humorous (in retrospect) experiences adapting to Parisian life and culture with comforting and sophisticated recipes, both sweet and savory, Lebovitz built a substantial platform at davidlebovitz.com. 

My Paris Kitchen is the author’s first savory cookbook, highlighting the virtues of Parisian home cooking where local produce markets, butchers, and boulangeries offer the best ingredients. Temptations include:

• Buckwheat polenta with braised greens, sausage, and poached eggs

• Soupe au pistou—a soup of beans, carrots, zucchini, peas, pasta, cheese, and aromatics with basil puree

• Roasted cherry tomato crostini with goat cheese and herbs

• Mustard and paprika-marinated chicken, braised in bacon fat, onions, and red wine

• Salted butter caramel-chocolate mousse

Though it is still available in print, we are offering a signed first printing here. Unused and Near Fine. Without jacket, as issued.
