Congratulations on your new home! Hopefully you have better luck with your renovations this time around. I've had a Bosch dishwasher for almost 10 years and love it. Waiting for my 22 year old gas Thermador to die so that I can switch to induction! Good luck with everything.
Congratulations to you and Romain!!! I sincerely hope this renovation is easier than the last even though I know we would all love another book from you. Dishwashers….those I’ve loved most have food grinders in them so you don’t end up with clogged filters and or dirty dishes. My Bosch was very quiet. Can’t wait to see the kitchen come to life! Cheers to you both.
Congratulations on the new adventure David! my two cents is that induction cooktop quality varies hugely. I essentially cant even boil water on my current stove in our rental apartment as it is so temperamental. Sometimes it will be raging hot, sometimes it will be barely warm and no matter where the dial says it is there will be nothing in between! Sometimes it won't even turn off! It's so bad we got a high quality portable plug in induction burner we sit on top of the stove and I use that for everything. My advice is find someone with the model you want if possible and talk to them about it.
Can't wait to see and hear more about the new place. The sneak peek looks great and having a garden will be a delight. Looking forward to the podcast. Thank you for posting about WCKitchen. Several food bloggers have helped increase their visibility and donations.
I am a paid subscriber who is very confused. I get your "newsletter" as an email and at the bottom it says "this newsletter is for everyone". Is this the paid version? Do you have a blog, free newsletter, and a paid newsletter? I like simple. If I pay for the upgrade then that's what I want in my email. I don't want to have to go somewhere else and sign in with a password. Thanks in advance for clearing up my confusion!
I've had both Bosch and Miele dishwashers and hands down Miele is better. Also the Miele washer/dryer. If Gaggenau is an option for you go for it, its worth the investment. My kitchen is the heartbeat of our life so it was worth the investment to have equipment that functions. BTW Bosch (BSH) also owns Gaggenau and Thermador. All excellent products.
David we moved in to our apt in Sydney (Aus) 8 years ago and had to replace all the white goods in the first 2 years. Having renovated 6 homes between us, we both agreed on the Miele products. Love them all. Induction cooktop and steam oven. Amazing dishwasher (super quiet) and washing machine and dryer. Hope this renovation is less stressful than the last.
I so enjoy your newsletter, I relate to so much of what you say about living in France. I spent 5 years on the Cote d'Azur in the late 80s and have been fortunate to also spend several months each year in Paris. We rent a little apt in the 6th but only for the months needed, its wonderful to have our own place without ownership (and responsibility)! It was newly renovated when we first took it with a Bulthaup kitchen, and an induction stovetop. My first experience. At home in SoCal we had a Boffi kitchen with Miele appliances. We've now moved into a new home we built, and learned from all our past experiences. Boffi and Bulthaup both have beautiful kitchens. Our newest one is Leicht, also excellent. I had a Boffi stainless countertop and loved it. Indestructible, accepts high heat, and always beautiful. Only the first year is tough when you get your first scratches! A Miele dishwasher is the best on the market, much better than Bosch but it is the only Miele appliance to purchase. Gaggenau has the best ovens, stovetops, coffee makers, etc. I quickly learned the difference between an affordable induction stove and an expensive one. Make sure you can try out whichever you decide on. My Paris one shuts off it any water drops on it (sorry I don't remember the brand). If you have water boiling and it spits, cheaper ones will shut off. If you can afford it, buy a Gaggenau! They make a fabulous induction, the best on the market. And I'm madly in love with my Gaggenau steam oven. Your new apt looks amazing, congratulations. What district is this, with a garden??
I love my induction stove! We did a house exchange and I lived with one for a month. First chance I had I switched from gas to induction. Really responsive. And FAST as there is much less wasted energy. It boils water so quickly. The biggest change I had was not spending as much time away from the stove while waiting for things to heat. Burned a few things that way. Best thing though, the kitchen doesn't get nearly as hot cooking in the summer as with gas.
Congratulations on the new home! Thank you, as always, for giving us a window into life in Paris. It's so great to get such a personal take on the ups and downs, and your narration is so engaging. Looking forward to seeing how the new place shapes up!
I love your always amusing, always informative newsletter, David, and enjoyed reading about your past apartments. Do you now have a new place with a garden? The video from SNL is hilarious! I like your idea of a blog with interviews all around Paris. I am so jealous that you get to live in that beautiful city!
Hi David, The Youtube video at the beginning of the March newsletter is not viewable in Canada. Could you look into this, please? Thanks.

A podcast! I can’t wait, I think you will be fabulous! I am excited to find out all the interesting things you’ll be sharing.

Non solicited advice squeeze in 2 dishwashers into your new pad. It’s a lifesaver!
The bones of your new place are so elegant. And a garden to boot!

I totally missed you having a new place. Guessing the last months or more, my mind and reading was on a different planet. Happy for you and Romaine.
