Oven-Roasted Asparagus
Recently I’ve come out as a
non-steamed vegetable eater. I worked with an amazing Asian food expert who
hated Japanese food, saying it wasn’t sexy, pointing the blame on a reliance on
steaming. He also said they eat pollywogs, which he followed by saying, “Who eats pollywogs?”

A NEWLY MINTED PONSONBY ROAD CAFE IS SERVING TASTY ALTERNATIVES TO THE USUAL BRUNCH FARE..
Chambelland Boulangerie (Gluten-free)
Posted: 27 May 2014 - David Lebovitz
I’m not gluten-free, but I am a
bread-lover. (fyi: I also like boulangeries,
too.) And am happy to come across any kind of bread packed with grains.
But I don’t think all bread needs to have wheat in it. Other grains and
starches – from buckwheat and rye, to cornmeal and rice flour – all make
excellent breads, in the right hands.
In addition to being The City of
Light, Paris is also The City of Bread, yet another boulangerie has opened. But this one is making
breads without gluten. And the one I bought, riddled with seeds, was terrific.
The dense quarter-loaf was made with
a combination of buckwheat and rice flours. The baker told me they’re milled in
a dedicated moulin
(mill) in the south of France. Because these kinds of flours don’t lend
themselves to free-form loaves, the breads are baked in molds. And for those
missing the traditional baguette, while you won’t find them here, the various
breads offered are baked in slender molds, because everyone – even those
avoiding gluten – deserves crust.

q & a with David Lebovitz
Posted: 25 May 2014 02:08
I just returned from a four-week
book tour where I met a lot
of people. Everyone was incredibly nice and it was a treat, although because of
the nature of the events, it wasn’t possible to spend lots of one-on-one time
with anyone – including myself. However, I tried to answer as many questions as
possible.
The most frequently asked questions were; “Where have you been?”,
“Where are you going?” and, curiously, “When you are leaving?” I’ll assume the
last one was people just being polite (I hope!)
Another popular question was about mes bonnes adresses in Paris,
or favorite places to eat.
While I update the list on the My Paris page
regularly, and there are more complete descriptions in the Paris restaurant
category on the site, I suspect people thought I was holding out
on them (I swear, I’m not! – well, maybe one or two…but I have my reasons…) I
was also interested in how many people were coming to Paris in the near future,
which may explain the rise in airfares this summer, which are preventing us
from going to Cape Cod and having a lobster, steamer clam, beer, and
corn-on-the-cob fest.
