Slodki...Slony




For many years, Slodki...Slony has been my first stop upon arriving in Warsaw and my last stop before heading back to the airport.


Slodki...Slony, (Sweet....Salty) is a small restaurant/pastry shop with a decent lunch and dinner menu and a spectacular bakery.  I have eaten lunch here only once, a very good soup and sandwich but I really keep coming back for the baked goods.

Their cakes, pastries and babas are just delicious.  The place has a beautiful old fashion decor, dark furniture and flowery walls.  Upon entering, one is almost transported in time, to Poland long gone.  But Slodki...Slony is not just looks and no content.

I have tasted my share of their products and can vouch for the great taste, freshness and high quality.














Beautiful meringue cakes in the display are tempting passers by on ul. Mokotowska.










I also love their take out boxes, pink, pretty and feminine. 




 My all time favorites are the small plum buns and the larger babeczki w raspberries. 



Delicious cheesecake with raisins.



Seasonal fruit cake, available only during the summer.
















 I usually buy a box of these plum buns to bring back to New York.  They are superb, sweet and are quickly devoured by my husband and kids.









Their yeast baba covered with sugar frosting and sprinkled with raisins is light, tasty and full of flavor.





 During one of my pre-airport runs I even ran into Mrs.  Magda Gessler, the creator of Slodki...Slony, a restaurateur and a TV personality. 



Ready to fly back home.

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...
