The Sweet Life in Paris: Delicious Adventures in the World's Most Glorious - and Perplexing - City Get it now!

Over All Rating Reviews :

Fun if you assume the author is right about everything. If you know Paris and like France, then, not so much. Full of "I can't believe the French haven't figured out life as well as we have in Berkeley" moments, and a lot of stories that show the guy has really been there for a while. Kind of funny but also kind of sad too, it really is such a wonderful city, but there's more to liking it then putting on your good pants to take the trash out -- his big fashion insight into becoming a Parisian. Recipes look very tasty, the guy obviously knows how to bake, and it's really nice of him to allow the Parisians to annoy him so much while he cooks up a storm, while keeping an eye on himself in the mirror. Still, the story he tells about how, in his early career, he walked into the kitchen of a major restaurant in Berkeley, at the peak of the lunch hour melt down, and tried to talk to the very busy chef, got chewed out and, evidently, felt only tolerance and compassion for the chef for their not realizing how wonderful he was, is very revealing.
