Summary
This week it's the 100th episode of The Earful Tower! To celebrate, here's a chat with celebrity chef and author David Lebovitz, who has just written a new book called L'Appart.
We chat about Christmas in Paris, the lack of a future tense in Sicily, and the blog he has been running since 2009.
We also talk about Barbara Streisand and the testicles of Simon and Garfunkel - so if you only came for food recipes then you will be sorely disappointed :)
Remember, David will be on the book club in February, so sign up on Patreon for that and for much, much, much more.
