For there are breads and then there are french breads and finally there are pain's from Eric Kayser. One of my first activities after moving into a rental apartment in France is to go and find my nearest boulangerie for early morning breakfast runs. One of my favourite meals when in France. We got lucky to have Kayser as our local baker this last trip to Paris.
So it was a daily exercise in pleasure - whether to eat a pain au raisin, a chocolatine, bessaine or a baguette céréale. Ah, when you can have bread like that one goes straight to heaven. To have 60 varieties to choose from wakes you up.
And throw in some eclairs and tarte framboise (a crispy crust that melts in your mouth filled with delicate fromage blanc),paris-brest (filled with fresh cream and goodness) and chocolat royale for tea. Why oh why are there no true artisinal boulangeries in the US?
