David Lebovitz in conversation with Leslie Brenner
Tue Oct 21 2025
I had a lot of fun talking with Leslie Brenner on this Live video. Leslie is the former food editor of the Los Angeles Times, and restaurant critic and dining editor of the Dallas Morning News, and we discussed quite a few topics, from how recipes have changed and evolved over the years, what motivated me to start writing cookbooks in the first place, how living in France affected my recipes, why I updated my book, Ready for Dessert, and what are some of my favorite and “must make” recipes.
[Note: There was a tech glitch and you can fast forward to around the 11 minute mark, which is when I joined Leslie and we started talking.]
Thanks to Leslie for inviting me to chat with her!
