L’Expatrié

Last Saturday, I had a little glimpse into the expat life in Paris.
I attended a meet-up organized by marvellous cookbook author, blogger and writer of humorous tweets; David Lebovitz.

David Lebovitz
It was held at La Cocotte, a wonderful little culinary bookstore.
It stocks thousands of books stacked high from all over the world, in French and English devoted entirely to the kitchen!

La Cocotte
Did I mention how amazing this bookstore is? It’s like being in a cuisine bookstore paradise.
I envision a street dotted with quaint bookstores dedicated to specific themes.
The space was the perfect set-up for the gathering; I spent half of the time pouring over cookbooks.
It also was fascinating to discover what drew people to Paris; love, work, school…
Then there was the lady who’s looking for a French husband, one woman was on a six month vacation, another had always wanted to live in Paris.

Book Signed
Of course, it was great meeting David, I’ve been reading his blog for so long and following his tweets, I felt I already knew him.

He’s just like his online personality, laid-back and funny.
I’m always a little hesitant meeting my favourite bloggers in real life, because I’m afraid my perception of them might change as a result of our real-life meeting.

Ready For Dessert Signed

I also managed to grab a copy of David’s book before the store ran out, and he graciously signed it.
Making my way home, I keep thinking about how badly I wanted to move to Paris.
