Odette, Warsaw


 Odette is a baby in the pastry world.  It is, however, a brilliant, kick ass baby!
Odette opened its doors just a couple of years ago and it has quickly developed a strong following and earned rave reviews.

I consider myself a huge pastry fan, so much so, that pastry shops are one of the first things I research when planning our vacations.

After sampling my first pastry from Odette, I became a loyal patron.  My favorite pastry shops in Paris are: Pierre Herme, Hugo & Victor, Arnaud Lehrer and Patisserie des Reves, to name a few.  Odette, in my humble opinion, is in that category.  It is a wonderful patisserie that would fit very well in the Sixth Arrondissement. 


 Odette has two locations, and both have a few tables to sit and enjoy the pastry with a nice cup of tea.

 



The decor is minimalist but interesting, with copper pipes decorating the ceiling. 









The second shop has more room to sit outside and they even have blankets for those chilly days.


 Blurry photo, most likely due to my sugar shakes.

 






The pastry was nicely packaged, with each piece sitting on a little plastic tray which was glued to the box.  That is a nice touch and it guarantees that the pastry will make it home undisturbed. 


 Lemon tart with meringue.  The tartness of the lemon complemented the meringue very nicely. 


Sponge Sacher, marzipan, orange marmalade, cream with valrhona chocolate.


 Almond tart.


 Coco Passion


 Snickers - sable with hazelnuts and salted caramel mousse.



 Madagascar vanilla mousse,



Hazelnut dacquoise, passion fruit cremeux, banana cream with valrhona milk chocolate.


Forrest berries mousse.









 Lemon curd mousse.


 Coffee mousse, coffee ganache.




Every single piece that I have tried is delicious, fresh, elegant and interesting.  The combinations of flavors show brilliance and fearlessness of the chef.  Odette is a top notch patisserie worthy of every complement they receive.

Bordier Butter - The Best Butter in France

France is in the midst of a butter shortage!  Due to a decrease in milk production and a substantial demand for French pastries all over the world (mainly China and the Middle East), the price of butter has increased by 60% in one year.  The French are stocking up and thus creating shortages.  French newspapers are publishing articles titled "A guide to cooking without butter".  So, with hopes that the shortages are temporary, here is my ode to the best butter in the world.  I'm not kidding.  The. Best. Butter. In. The. World. Mr. Bordier, a grandson and a son of cheese mongers, became a butter artisan in 1985.  He acquired a creamery originally founded in 1927.  The supreme taste of the Bordier butter was first recognized by a chef from the Plaza Athenee while vacationing in Brittany, a beautiful region in northwestern France. Bordier is the lone butter master to still use the old method of kneading the butter according to the 19th century t...

Indian Accent, NYC

Often when a question arises as to what to eat for dinner, I think of Indian food.  I am a very happy gal with chicken makhani, basmati rice, an onion kulcha or a nan laid out in front of me.  I have heard some very good things about Indian Accent, a relatively new restaurant in midtown Manhattan, adjacent to the Parker Hotel. The décor here is unlike most Indian restaurants I have visited; no boldly colored fabrics, beautiful tapestries, intricately carved wood, or lanterns.  Indian Accent restaurant looks like something that Daniel Boulud would envision.  There are about fifteen wooden tables and a few small booths, fabric covered modern chairs, a lit bar with glass shelves and golden accents throughout, and large glass vases filled with flowering branches. The menu is complicated, however, our terrific waiter took his time and explained each dish and even made some wonderful suggestions.  Actually, everyone at the restaurant was really professiona...

A. Lacroix Patisserie, Paris

My visits to Paris are usually carefully planned out; practically every meal is decided far in advance, and same goes for pastries, ice cream and macaron.  While I have not visited every pastry shop in Paris, that would be almost impossible given their numbers, I am aware of most of them.  Imagine my happiness when I came across a brand new patisserie, one that is barely a year old!   A. Lacroix is a lovely tea room/patisserie opened by an American woman and a Parisian pastry chef.  Jackie, the founder, is originally from Ohio but has been living in Paris for nine years.  She left her job in the telecom industry in order to pursue a dream of opening a tea salon.  I'm so glad she did!   This is a charming patisserie/tea salon with beautiful stone walls, wooden beams, plenty of seating space, and location that just can't be beat.  One side of the place looks at the Notre-Dame Cathedral! A. Lacroix is not just a pastry sho...
