ABOUT DAVID LEBOVITZ
After spending years as a pastry chef in San Francisco’s Bay-area, David Lebovitz left the restaurant business in 1999 to write the first of his four best-selling cookbooks, Room for Dessert. In 2003, he moved to Paris and later penned The Sweet Life in Paris, chronicling the adventures of his new life abroad.
Now David is partnering with Spice Islands Trading Company to share unique perspectives on food and help uncover the difference in cooking and baking with the highest quality herbs and spices from the Spice Islands brand. After all, what good is premium 100% pure vanilla extract, without a crème brûlée or homemade ice cream to go into?
David attended Callebaut College in Belgium and Ecole du Grand Chocolat Valrhona in France, and took advanced courses in baking and the art of confectionery at the renowned Ecole Lenôtre in Paris. In addition to tending to his popular blog (http://www.davidlebovitz.com), he also leads culinary tours of Paris.Cathy2

Post #5 - March 16th, 2011, 8:05 amNo tickets - it's a free and open event!
David and I have been friends for years - and neighbors in Paris - and I'm so happy to finally welcome him to Chicago. A HUGE thanks to David for his support of Greater Midwest Foodways - and yes, big thanks to the great Spice Islands people (in Oakbrook Terrace, Iowa, and Milwaukee) - also the Hotel Allegro and 312 Chicago's Pastry Chef Kim Schwenke who's making complimentary custom desserts for the event.
I'll definitely be there to support our very own Cathy2, one of the founders of Greater Midwest Foodways, who will be in charge of David's book sales.
We will allow guests to bring their own books for signing but please consider making a donation to support Greater Midwest Foodways!

My thanks to Louisa who called to find out how to arrange a book sale. I volunteered suggesting the proceeds go to Greater Midwest Foodways Alliance.
This should be a nice afternoon with the hotel providing desserts.
