Cooking with David Lebovitz {Paris}
The lines between the blog and real world blur more often than one would expect. After meeting chef/blogger/author David Lebovitz at the ParisByMouth launch earlier this summer, I was lucky enough to get to put together a special project with him for design*sponge. I’ve never done a video or any project like this before, but it was an amazing challenge and I love how it turned out! It also became a very personal project for me, as we visited my favorite market – the Bastille market along Blvd Richard Lenoir, filmed the opening shots on the street I lived on 6 years ago, and shot the interview in the beautiful garden of Studio Vermes where I took photography classes as a student studying abroad in Paris and fell in love with this city, chatted about Paris and talked travel. (You can find the full post here).
A huge thank you to Grace Bonney (design*sponge herself) for making this all come together, David Lebovitz for being a great person to team up with, Christian Wilmes for being an amazing videographer and making me look good (with special assistance from Sophie Bocqueho), and Kali Vermes for opening the doors of Studio Vermes!
P.S.Check out David’s take in his post about our adventures HERE. And you can find much more from our interview (including how David travels) HERE.

What a gorgeous video – so full of summer – I suppose that heating the wine burns off the alcohol or you’d both have been a lot less coherent
