Balthazar Boulangerie

A typical New Yorker morning would be to head to Starbucks or Dean and Deluca for a coffee and a pastry. But with a nostalgia for France, why not start a Saturday morning by going to Balthazar instead? This boulangerie is so cozy and filled with different pastries including tarte aux pommes and scones. Grab a hot cup of coffee and a warm cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll is a must-try by the way. It has a crusty outside with a soft inside. So good you won’t regret the five bucks it costs.

The first time I kneaded dough, I was following a video of Julia Child. However, the instructional video didn’t work out for me. I took longer than I was supposed to in kneading the dough and just gave up making anything.…

The Fireside Cook Book

Ever found a book that stood out to you because it was out of date? Well this book was definitely one of them. The Fireside Cook Book was published in 2008 but it’s such a fascinating cook book. Elias gave it to me as a gift and I just love it. At first I thought, it’s just another cook book. But it stands out to me more than other cook books.
