A Book I Love

The Sweet Life In Paris: Delicious Adventures
in the World's Most Glorious - and Perplexing - City
By David Lebovitz

David Lebovitz captures the essence of what it takes to be an American turned Parisian. As a former award-winning pastry chef at the infamous Chez Panisse in Berkeley, David definitely has the credentials to be considered a celebrity chef. But what makes him really special is his magical gift with words.

Paragraph by paragraph you feel like you are walking the spindly streets with him, stepping into pastry shops and boulangeries, smelling the sweet aroma of salted butter. He takes you behind the scenes with Parisian fish mongers, cheese makers and chocolate artists. He comically explains the social and cultural differences between fumbling American tourists and refined Parisian sophisticates.

Having recently spent some time in Paris, I kept noticing how accurate David was- we kept running into real-life examples of the hilarious anecdotes we read. The new hubby would read a chapter of "The Sweet Life" to me every evening while I cooked dinner and it quickly became something I looked forward to every day.

Excerpt from Amazon:

"I distinctly remember the exact moment when I became Parisian. It wasn’t the moment when I found myself seriously considering buying dress socks with goofy cartoon characters on them. Nor was it the time I went to my bank with €135 in hand to make a payment for €134, and thought it completely normal when the teller told me that the bank didn’t have any change that day.
And I’m sure it wasn’t when I ran into the fifty-something receptionist from my doctor’s office sunbathing topless by the Seine, à la française, and I didn’t avert my eyes (much as I wanted to).
It wasn’t when my shoulder bag caught the sweater of a young boy in La Maison du Chocolat and, as it started to unravel, I ignored his woeful cries. “C’est pas ma faute!” I reasoned to myself before walking away. After all, who in their right mind would wear a sweater to a chocolate shop, anyway?..."

This book would make a great Christmas book for anyone who loves food, loves Paris, or just loves to laugh:

Fried Sardines

This is another recipe I made a few weeks ago, adapted from my favorite San Franciscan turned Parisian blogger, David Liebovitz.(This recipe can be found in his book The Sweet Life in Paris available at http://www.davidlebovitz.com/ ). It is unique and in my opinion tastes hot off the fry pan and even better at room temperature the next day.

A note about the sardines: When I think of sardines I picture the slimy, salty little things that come in a can. But at the open market in Paris, they are these big beautiful fillets of fish that don't smell at all fishy. The bones have been taken out, and they are ready to go. We bought a half kilo of them for only 2 euro (*about $2.75). It lasted us 3 meals each, so it was a great deal!

The Recipe (you'll have to buy his book for the full recipe, and believe me it's worth it, such a great read! But here is the gist of the recipe):

1. Dredge the fillets in flour on both sides(I add a dash of salt to the flour first)
2. Heat a pan with a bunch of vegetable oil in it so it's very hot
3. Fry the fish one minute on each side
4. Let drain on a paper towel
5. Add sliced onions, cook for 20 mins
6. Add vinegar and sugar to the onions
7. Serve yourself some fish and a spoonful the onion/suga/vinegar mixture (the pickling sauce)
8. With the leftovers, layer the sardines with the pickling sauce
9. Cover well and refrigerate
10. Eat the pickled sardines with thick crusty bread and brie, preferably in the Luxembourg Garden :)

Beef Bordeaux

Here is a dish we made recently in Paris. The perfect slow cooked meal for a chilly night!

Ingredients (serves 4):

• 1 lb. Cubed beef
• 1 medium red onion (or leeks or shallots like I used)
• red wine (we used Bordeaux)
• 1 lb. potatoes (any kind), cubed
  
• 2 cloves garlic, sliced thin
• one can chopped tomatoes
• half bottle wine
  

Directions:

1. Brown the beef at high heat with some olive oil, salt and pepper

2. Set beef aside
3. Deglaze the pan with a splash of wine

4. Add onions
5. Caramelize in butter

6. Add garlic and potatoes, cook a few minutes til you smell the garlic

7. Add tomatoes, wine and bring to a boil

8. Cover and reduce the heat to a simmer for a couple hours


Optional: Serve with a piece of grainy bread with butter or cheese melted into it, to sop up the yummy juices. Or a healthier alternative would be to serve it with polenta or brown rice or quinoa.

A European Feast

NEXT DELIVERY: MONDAY, OCTOBER 4!

Thank you to my wonderful clients who took a 2 week break from Evolution Catering deliveries while I traveled Europe on my honeymoon. It was an amazing trip and I am well rested and ready to get back to work now!

Here is a recap of the most delicious things my husband and I encountered on our trip (note that we did not in any shape or form try to eat healthy)...

Dublin- breakfast in bed was an excellent cure for jet lag--
eggs, sausage croissant fruit, and coffee


Dublin- we toured the Guinness Factory and learned how to pour the perfect pint,
Guinness style

Venice- La Zucca Ristorante is primarily vegetarian and all organic. They serve the BEST pasta with tomato sauce and very very fresh ricotta that just melts into the sauce


Also at Zucca, the roasted leeks with pecorino are perfectly caramalized and just amazing


My aunt (who is a tour guide in Italy :) took us to a restaurant that we didn't even have to order at! The owner just kept bringing us amazing things. Salted fish, fresh cheeses, focaccias, figs, everything so fresh and went so well with everything else!



Florence- Pizza Gusto was ridiculously good! With the naan-like crust, huge chunks of fresh buffalo mozzeralla and parmesan and fresh arugula


And don't forget an ice cold beer to wash it down!


Florence-The best capuccino and chocolate croissant ever!

We found Il Mercato Centrale, foodie heaven! Tables upon tables of artisan cheeses, meats and produce.

And this is the meal we made out of it! Prosciutto, mozzarella, parmagianno, tomatoes, ciabatta, arugula, fried egg, olive oil, balsamic vinegar s&p. We kept trying to make the 'perfect bite' from everything on our plate. Everything just tasted SO good together b/c the ingredients were oh so fresh and flavorful!

Boiled Beef Panino--oh so flavorful and perfect for a long train ride!

Cinque Terre (Vernazza)- go to Il Pirata and have their specialty pastry the panzerotto. A light as air puff pastry filled with vanilla custard and topped with strawberries <3
