Anyone who eats dessert in my home often knows what a fan I am of David Lebovitz. He’s the guy who (on paper) showed me it was easy to make marshmallows and meringues and macaroons; his wonderful recipes in The Perfect Scoop are the main reason I invested in a serious ice cream machine.
I feel like I know the guy, between his books and his blog. But, of course, I don’t. I wrote about that in my post in The Christian Science Monitor this week on Lebovitz’s new book, The Sweet Life in Paris. It’s online here.

Any mention in the book of where one might find superlative sweets in Paris? I care less about Mr. Perfect Scoop’s personal life than I care about foraging for the perfect macaroon!
Luigia, I think the book is well worth a read pre-Paris, and I am quite envious that you will get to put it to such practical use! Davidlebovitz.com also has good advice for travelers. Our friends over at WrightEats were just in Paris and had a good take on the book and the city, here: http://www.wrightangle.com/food/blog/2009/05/11/the-sweet-life-in-paris/
