Macarons with black truffles by Pierre Hermé

Last holiday season, Pierre Hermé invented macarons with foie gras. This year the pastry king presents two new macarons – with black truffles and with 25-year-old balsamic vinegar of Modena. What is most surprising though is the price of these small treasures. Each macaron (small size) costs 8 €. I…

The perfect risotto

The perfect risotto

The perfect risotto

I don’t know how about you, the perfect risotto for me is when the rice grains are separate and slightly al dente, it contains very little cheese and cream… And if the risotto is generously sprinkled over with fresh black Périgord truffles its a paradise! You can taste this perfection…

Kurumazushi vs Sushi Yasuda

Without any question, these two Japanese restaurants serve the best sushi you can get in New York. Kurumazushi ( 7 E. 47th St) and Sushi Yasuda are similar in the way, that they are both very traditional (Kurumazushi even more) and the fish quality is outstanding. There are some aspects…

Since the vegetables master Alain Passard turned the betterave from a worthless vegetable to a luxury item, the other chefs also stopped snobing it. Up till now, I thought that the Alain Passard’s dish ” beetroot with 12 years balsamic vinegar” was without competition. But everything changed when yesterday I…

My favorite cake of this season

Christophe Adam of Fauchon continues his “club cake” tradition and this autumn he proposes the classical “forêt noir” cake in a not so classical form. I love this cake so much that last week, despite all the strikes, I went to Fauchon (place de la Madeleine) three times just for…

Le Meurice

Le Meurice

I guess this is what defines a three Michelin stars restaurant(at least in France)- every single dish in Yannick Alleno’s “palace” restaurant was perfection. Dining in a top restaurant is being a little bit lazy. Usually, there is no place for errors, all you have to do is to sit…
