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...

Dallal Restaurant, Tel Aviv

Dallal is located in the heart of Neve Tzedek, Tel Aviv's oldest district and the first Jewish  neighborhood outside of the old port city of Jaffa.  It was built as a suburb in 1887 and is now a very trendy area full of cafes, boutiques, and restaurants.   I have been buying breads, cakes and croissants at the Dallal Bakery for a few years now, but this was my first time dining at their restaurant on the corner of Shabazi Street.   Dallal takes up a good chunk of the block since it was built on the ruins of three restored houses next to the Suzanne Dallal Cultural Center. There are a few sitting options while dining at Dallal: outside in the small garden-like area, in the enclosed courtyard with a view of the sky, and inside the restaurant which feels like old time Paris. Dallal is a perfect place for a fun lunch with friends, or a romantic dinner with your sweetheart. There are two lunch options at Dallal: 78 ILS for two appetizers and bread...

Hakosem, Tel Aviv

If you Google: Best shawarma in Tel Aviv, the name Hakosem is bound to pop up close to the top of any list.  It is very easy to find decent shawarma and falafel in Tel Aviv, but we wanted to try what is considered to be one of the best.  Hakosem located in a nice residential neighborhood is a food stand with plenty of tables and chairs set up on the sidewalk.  They serve superb shawarma, falafel, sabich, shakshuka, shnitzel, and veggies.            The line is pretty constant throughout the day, but it moves fast.  Free falafel balls are gifted to the  hungry customers to keep them happy while they wait.        I found the place to be very clean.     Freshly chopped veggies are continuously brought in from the kitchen in the back.         My husband could not resist the shawarma in lafa.  It was quite lar...
