As some of you know I love France. I have spent as much time as I can there. I have been blessed that while my beloved might not like to go as often as I do, she has no problem with me going without her. One of the things I have dreamed of is buying something and renovating. So when the book L'appart by David Lebovitz came across my radar, I ordered it. David is a chef that moved to Paris years ago to write cookbooks. He fell in love and decided to put down some roots by purchasing an apartment to call his very own. It took 10 months to purchase the place and months and months to renovate. As I was reading, I mentioned the book to my friend, Frenchie mom and how David had been a chef at Chez Panisse in the 90's and she said maybe my mom knows him. So I fired off an email to David and Frenchie mom asked her mom and sure enough they knew each other. I thought small world.
Then I got my monthly newsletter of Secrets of Paris - a newsletter that I have been getting for years and always recommend to anyone travelling to Paris. It always has some great little secret to explore. So this month the author was talking about this vegan Nutella that her friend, pastry chef and author David Leibovitz!
Now the it's a small world song is playing full blast in my head! So now I just have to put 2 and 2 together and arrange for a face to face at some point in Paris. Consider yourself warned David.
