Here are a few teasers from the last weeks of August and the beginning of this month that I spent in Croatia, Austria, and Switzerland. Unfortunately I returned with a full-scale case of some imported flu and am just coming back to life...
Traditional sweets from Istria in Croatia
Apple strudel at the Hotel Sacher in Vienna
Coffee "soufflé" at Konditorei Zafita in Graz, Austria
Exquisite desserts at Lampart's in Haegendorf near Solothurn in Switzerland
Chocolates at Honold in Zurich
Traditional almond cake at Schiesser, the best pastry shop in Basel
After three weeks I knew it was time to stop eating desserts and get on with my life. I'll be posting about a full range of places in each location in the next weeks, then it's off on book tour to promote BREAD which arrives toward the third week in October. Hope to see you along the way!
Can. not. wait.
Meanwhile, I'm putting on my hiking boots to tackle that coffee "souffle," which looks mountainous. In a good way.
