The idea of sitting in a trendy Parisian bar in the 11th arrondissement, waiting for the author of many of the world’s best selling food books and the first-ever food blogger, could make anyone’s knees slightly tremblant. Then our guest today walked in with a big smile on his face said Bonjour.
I’m Susan Schwartz, your drinking companion, and this is the Lush Life Podcast. Every week we are inspired to live life one cocktail at a time by the best in the industry.
David Lebovitz is known to every chef, home cook, baker and lover of Paris. His blog Davidlebovitz.com, as well as many of his books have been luring the uninitiated and oldhats to discover some of the best that Paris has to offer. 
Now with the publication of his new book https://alushlifemanual.com/books (Drinking French), just released today, his name with be forever synonymous with everything that goes into a glass, cup or bottle in la République. 
I was on a mission to discover how he found shaking, stirring and muddling, instead of sifting, kneading and rolling.
