  “Loved this book, enjoyed the humor and good recipes.
  At times his writing reminded me of David Sedaris.”

  “A quick easy read, maybe it's because I've read SOOOO many books on Paris I often found David's observations predictable and cliche. Still the recipes are well worth it.”

  “Easy read - with loads of funny anecdotes. I'm not a cook at all - I've ruined pots just trying to boil water !! - but I am going to try some of "Daveed's" recipes. He explains the methods he uses thoroughly and gives you storage tips (which is a big plus for me). I wish my Dad were still alive, so that I could tell him about this book. He would absolutely love it. And I'm sure he would try some of the recipes. So, in his memory, I will give it a shot. I can still remember asking my father once - "Dad, why does everyone hate the French?" His response: "Because that's just the way it is. Everyone hates the French - because everyone hates the French. They're a nuisance. Even I hate the French - and I'm French !!!"”

  “Great book. Love any book that comes with recipes. I can't tell if he loves or hates Paris - maybe both - but it's still a really fun, easy read.”

  “I love David Lebovitz's blog and Twitter feed, so I loved the book as well. It's a series of Paris vignettes with recipes intertwined. I don't always agree with his view of Paris, but it sure is hilarious and well-written, and the recipes look great!”
