When we were in Paris, we did a most fantastic food tour of Bellevue, one of the older suburbs of the city. Our host Isabelle took us all over the area, into little coffee shops, delis, and bakeries where we learned how the food is prepared, and got to try a large selection of local goodies. We finished off in the back of a wine shop, drinking some wonderful wines while eating baguettes and local cheeses. It was a lovely way to spend a few hours in Paris.

Here’s a link to the tour, highly recommended when you are in Paris: https://www.airbnb.co.za/experiences/126782

I am not sure where they are originally from, but you find chimney cakes for sale all over central Europe. They are light and fluffy, and drizzled with sugar and cinnamon. Best eaten hot, you’ll never forget the amazing taste. And the secret ingredience, as clearly stated, is love butter.
