David Lebovitz invites you to think outside the pint

 

Does the name David Lebovitz ring a bell? If you are like the rest of us, you read his blog to be transported to his dreamy, edible life in Paris. (You can follow his equally amusing/transporting feed on Twitter @davidlebovitz) This week, Lebovitz's writing arrives closer to home: He writes our cover story in today's Food section about ice creams, and his quest to look beyond plain old vanilla. Above: buckwheat ice cream.
