An interesting post from David Lebovitz (the well-known dessert cookbook guy) on dealing with healthcare in France.

(I deeply wish he'd get himself off Substack, though.)

Chapter 19

Cinnamon muffins (3 recipes I've been meaning to try)

"I've cleaned up everything, as per the agreement." he quickly said as he walked past Lillian towards the door.  "There is breakfast for you also -  cinnamon muffins -  in the oven.  Just take them out once the timer goes off."

Chapter 20

Black Sesame Creme Brulee

"I think," Chandler said, beaming as he continued chattering on as the food tour continued.  "I'm really going to take you down to Cha-An for that black sesame creme brûlée I promised you.  It just melts in your mouth and is completely divine.”

French macaron

 "French macarons might do the trick.  I know they won't be as delicious as any you make, but hey, it'll be great to give them a try.  If you'd like, we can make fun of their inferior quality - to your own, too." Chandler looked hopeful.

Mille Fuille and Kouigan Amann

Kurt blushed under his friend's praise.  He looked at Adam,  whose eyes twinkled as he grinned back.  “Well, Kurt, then let me thank you.  I have to say your mille feuille and kouigan amann - the classic and the chocolate - were both exquisite. The texture, the flavor. . . it was all just outstanding.  I'll definitely be including them in my review.”

Kurt would so make the puff pastry for the above from scratch so . .

Thanks to everyone for being so supportive of this story . . I'm working on Chapter 22 - I promise . . 😊

Nonfiction Thursday: Cookbooks from Around the World 

My Paris Kitchen by David Lebovitz

It’s been ten years since David Lebovitz packed up his most treasured cookbooks, a well-worn cast-iron skillet, and his laptop and moved to Paris. In that time, the culinary culture of France has shifted as a new generation of chefs and home cooks—most notably in Paris—incorporates ingredients and techniques from around the world into traditional French dishes.

In My Paris Kitchen, David remasters the classics, introduces lesser-known fare, and presents 100 sweet and savory recipes that reflect the way modern Parisians eat today. You’ll find Soupe à l’oignon, Cassoulet, Coq au vin, and Croque-monsieur, as well as Smoky barbecue-style pork, Lamb shank tagine, Dukkah-roasted cauliflower, Salt cod fritters with tartar sauce, and Wheat berry salad with radicchio, root vegetables, and pomegranate. And of course, there’s dessert: Warm chocolate cake with salted butter caramel sauce, Duck fat cookies, Bay leaf poundcake with orange glaze, French cheesecake...and the list goes on. David also shares stories told with his trademark wit and humor, and lush photography taken on location around Paris and in David’s kitchen reveals the quirks, trials, beauty, and joys of life in the culinary capital of the world.

Jerusalem by Yotam Ottolenghi

In Jerusalem, Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi explore the vibrant cuisine of their home city—with its diverse Muslim, Jewish, and Christian communities. Both men were born in Jerusalem in the same year—Tamimi on the Arab east side and Ottolenghi in the Jewish west. This stunning cookbook offers 120 recipes from their unique cross-cultural perspective, from inventive vegetable dishes to sweet, rich desserts. With five bustling restaurants in London and two stellar cookbooks, Ottolenghi is one of the most respected chefs in the world; in Jerusalem, he and Tamimi have collaborated to produce their most personal cookbook yet.

Persiana by Sabrina Gahyour

The Real Japanese Izakaya Cookbook by Wataru Yokota

Izakaya cooking is all about enjoying hearty and flavorful Japanese food with drinks and friends at your local hole-in-the-wall hangout. Similar to tapas or pub food, izakaya fare ranges from tasty bar snacks to substantial salads, stews, grilled meats and seafood dishes--all made fresh with minimal fuss and maximum flavor--and served alongside a chilled glass of beer or sake.

The Real Japanese Izakaya Cookbook allows you to recreate over 120 of these classic izakaya dishes in your own kitchen at home. These include standards like Yakitori Chicken Skewers, Crispy Gyoza, and Grilled Wagyu Beef with Shiso. Vegans and vegetarians are also well catered to with dishes like Daikon Salad with Yuzu Dressing, Chargrilled Fava Beans and Baked Tofu with Ginger Sauce. Chef and author Wataru Yokota adds his own unique twists to signature Japanese recipes, like Miso-Simmered Pork and Grilled Mackerel with Plum Sauce.
