Join us this Thursday, April 16th at 6:30pm in UVA's Newcomb Hall Theater for a free conversation about cuisine, culturel and life in Paris with the one and only David Lebovitz!
David Lebovitz is a professional chef and baker. He has been named one of the Top Five Pastry Chefs in the Bay Area by the San Francisco Chronicle and has been featured in Bon Appétit, Chocolatier, Cooking Light, Food + Wine, Cook's Illustrated, The LA Times, Newsweek, Travel and Leisure, The New York Times, People, Saveur, Sunset, and USA Today.
His popular blog was released in 1999 to correspond with the publication of his first book, Room for Dessert, which presents recipes that are easy and accessible to make at home. Dvid spent nearly thirteen years at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California with reknowned chef Alice Waters. Chez Panisse was founded in 1971 by Waters and named the Best Restaurant in America by Gourmet Magazine in 2001. In 2007, Waters won Restaurant Magazine's Lifetime Achievement Award, and was cited as one of the most influential figures in American cooking over the past 50 years.
The culinary influences for Chez Panisse are largely French, specifically influenced by the small country restaurants of France that cook whatever is fresh that day as well as create menus based on what the markets have to offer. David continues this tradition in his kitchen, cookbooks, and on his blog.
We are excited to welcome him to UVA to share our love of fresh food, French cuisine and lifestyle, and Parisian culture in this exceptional evening and look forward to seeing you there!
