David Lebovitz's Book Signing at BabyCakes

One of my favorite food blogs to read is David Lebovitz who got his start as a pastry chef at Chez Panisse and has gone on to write several excellent cook books including a memoir with recipes called The Sweet Life In Paris.  He was doing the signing just around the corner from my apartment at BabyCakes Vegan Bakery.

 

The man himself. 

A lot of people made a big fuss of getting their picture taken with him, and he was very gracious, one woman even had him hold a leather bag of hers for some undisclosed reason.  It's not really my style, it's embarrassing to me to meet someone you admire, what do I say?  Should I mention my blog? Etc... as it turns out he was very charming and easy to talk to, mostly we chatted about his recent trip crossing the Atlantic on the Queen Mary 2.
