I’m fortunate to live in Paris, a city where there’s an unusually large amount of very good chocolate shops. With so many to choose from, it’s hard to whittle it down to just the few, most perfect ones. But I must. And one of them is John-Charles Rochoux. His jewel box of a shop is located just off the bustling rue de Rennes. It’s not just…
Since I write in English quite a bit better than I do in French, the blog and my recipes are in the language of Shakespeare. However I realize a portion of my readers aren’t native English speakers, yet tirelessly trudge through my writings sans complaint. This post is for you. I would venture to guess about 90%* of the recipes in print and on the…
The long-awaited chocolate television program which I participated in, Chocolate Confidential, is set to air this month on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) this month. (They rejected my preferred title, David Lebovitz’s Chocolate Hour, for some inexplicable reason…) It’ll be shown nationwide on Thursday, January 25th at 8pm, and will be repeated on the Canadian news network the following day (check listings for time.) In…
Let’s start 2007 off on a very chocolaty note, shall we? I’m the host for Sugar High Friday this month, and for some reason after hardly any discussion at all, chocolate seemed to be the natural candidate for my theme. This sweet event was created by Jennifer, of Domestic Goddess and I invite any and all food bloggers out there to participate. (Well, maybe not…
I’ve been spotted around the web… …with Context Travel, in an interview about Paris sweets & eats. …in an audio tour chatting about the Marais. …profiled in The New Wave of Food Blogs, an article by Dianne Jacob, author of Will Write For Food. …and…Ouch! (Ok, ok…I like the damn bread. It’s the best thing ever! Yikes…)

Although it’s possible to buy citrons confits (preserved lemons) at Arabic markets in Paris, making Preserved Lemons couldn’t be easier to make and they taste fresher than anything you can buy. I forage through the mounds of lemons at my market in pursuit of the smallest citrus possible. But you may be lucky to have a friend with a lemon tree and they’re probably more than…
One of my friends from San Francisco sent me the local paper the other day, which was dated just before the last election. In my district, there was an election for Supervisor, the person who would represent my district in City Hall. This year there were three candidates vying for that position. Each was profiled and interviewed: The first was Bevan Dufty, the current Supervisor,…
