Incredible Foods
I've always thought that British cheese is underrated in France in the same way that Canada is underrated in the United States: few people give much thought to its existence.
The beet has shed its humble reputation in France to become the darling of Paris chefs.
When you happen to be one of the finest chocolatiers in France, the temptation to nibble is great.
Tokyo-trained Sadaharu Aoki makes a vanilla millefeuille that's as good as this classic pastry gets. But what sets him apart is his green tea, black sesame and red bean variations on French cakes.
Christmas surprise
"Hello Rosa!
Thanks for the itinerary. It was a great surprise, and an excellent choice of places! Le Hangar is going to be our favorite restaurant in Paris from now on: Peter is already experimenting how to cook a "soupe au potiron avec des marrons". We actually had to split the itinerary in 2 days - getting up late was one reason, but we also walked all ways (up AND down Montmartre), and there were also sooo many things to see and try. To Josephine Chez Dumonet we went on our last night in Paris which was a great way to wave the city good-bye until next time. I will definitely recommend you to all the food lovers who ask me for restaurant choices next time!
Thanks again!"
