Christophe Adam chez Fauchon – the new Pierre Herme

I guess that all the most genius French “chef pâtissiers” pass through the legendary Fauchon house before receiving their worldwide glory. Once there was Pierre Herme, now -its the turn of Christophe Adam. And even if he has been working in Fauchon only for few years, this young pastry chef…

Enoteca Pinchiorri, Florence – praises to Italian gastronomy

Enoteca Pinchiorri, Florence – praises to Italian gastronomy

There must be a good reason why Enoteca Pinchiorri has three Michelin stars and is among The World’s 50 Best Restaurants.

This is what porteños eat

Ok, if you don’t find my tomato soup that exciting, maybe you will find this more appetizing? This is what porteños (the Buenos Aires residents) eat – a juicy steak as seen in Cluny ( El Salvador 4618, Palermo) restaurant.

Cabaña Las Lilas, Buenos Aires

It’s one day I am in Buenos Aires and I absolutely love it. It is not exactly how I imagined though – Buenos Aires is very European. Of course, I knew that it is the most European city in South America, but, still, I thought it will be something like…

The best paella in Valencia

The best paella in Valencia

The best paella in Valencia

Valencia is the home for paella and the typical “paella Valenciana” is with rabbit and chicken. I didn’t try this one as I have a psychological barrier to eat these beautiful furry creatures. What I enjoyed though was paella with lobsters, which is to die for! The coast of the…

Pierre Herme macarons news

Just back from the Pierre Herme shop in rue Bonaparte and I could not help but notice (and to buy of course) these seasons macarons novelties. Finally, the French dessert genius created a macaron inspired by his most popular dessert – Ispahan. As you can see in the image below,…
