Food blogger and cookbook author David Lebovitz is an American renter in Paris who inherited a narrow kitchen with a motley assortment of appliances stuffed under the slanted roof of his 650-square-foot top-floor apartment near the Bastille. “In America, if you don’t like your kitchen, you bulldoze it,” he says in his kitchen on a recent afternoon. “But renters don’t really spend a lot of money to do that in France.”

I had the good fortune to meet David in 2006 when my boyfriend and I took his Paris Chocolate Walk tour. He is the author of several cookbooks and a hilarious blog.
I need some macarons now.

Sorry about the broken code; it's fixed now! Go see David's kitchen and his massive collection of silicone spatulas...

New York is the only city I've heard of where renters sink money into the landlord's investment.

I love the fridge and the coffee maker. That's an awesome, REAL kitchen. I wish I were there eating some delicious creation and drinking that wonderful coffee.

This tour is so inspiring! I have "The Perfect Scoop" and am amazed that all of those recipes came out of that tiny kitchen.

One of the few REAL ktichens I have seen on this site. This guy definitely knows how to cook. Most of the kitchens you see in magazines, you are like, "do they only boil water?"

Renters do that in America?

I rent, I live in the U.S., and I haven't renovated my kitchen.

It's an NYC thing, apparently.
