Le Fraisier Classique, watercolor, 9" x 11"
On Saturday I just discovered Almondine Bakery in Dumbo on Water Street - a patisserie loaded with Frenchness...
They even have an ardoise/big blackboard and write out the specials by hand...
And homey made lemonade perfect for a summer day...
When you buy a croissant or other vienoisserie, you get a REAL French boulangerie paper bag straight from France! That's a first.
You can buy Chef Herve Poussot's macarons just one at a time freshly made rather than pre-packaged...
Of course Almondine has many classic French desserts...
Like the very Summery Fraisier...
The French version of our strawberry shortcake...
Parisian chef Gerard Mulot's fraisier with a checkered 'Vichy' topping...
A rather grand Fraisier a la Dacha at Cafe Pouchkine in Printemps...
The Japanese adore le Fraisier - they add to the mix a delicate touch of Matcha green tea...
Munch..munchmiam...miam
Why not watch my favorite General I mean chef from L'atelier des Chefs show you how to faire un fraisier?
BONJOUR ALMONDINE BAKERY!!
