Finding Great Desserts in Vancouver is as Easy as 1 (Pastry), 2 (Scoops of Gelato), 3 (Doughnuts) JAY FRIEDMAN My trips to Vancouver tend to focus primarily on Asian food. And why not, when the area has some of the best dim sum, xiao long bao, sushi, and ramen in North America? But after dining on so many savory delicacies, I inevitably start to crave sweets. Eating around the city, I've come up with recommendations that should satisfy any sweet tooth: one pastry, two scoops of gelato, and three donuts. At Beaucoup Bakery , choosing just one treat is quite the challenge. The pastries are pretty solid (the plain croissant scores high on my scrutiny test, and the pine nut croissant is impressive), the tarts are works of art, and I still dream about a cookie that's rich with chocolate and rosemary �avor. However if I was forced to recommend one item worth the visit, I'd suggest the Black Sesame Choux ($6). Essentially a religieuse, the two pastry buns are reminiscent of Chinese or Vietnamese sesame seed balls, but much better quality. Rich and creamy, they're topped with fondant and studded with candied black sesame seeds. Jackie Ellis sources the best Japanese black sesame to make her paste, which she mixes with pastry cream and lots of salt. The wafer of sesame nougatine between the balls is like a sesame snap of the black variety. The dessert gets the trademark Asian compliment of being not-too- sweet, with a bonus of being easy for two people to share. 1 of 3 4/15/2021, 12:57 PM Finding Great Desserts in Vancouver is as Easy as 1 (Pastry), 2 (Scoops ... https://sweets.seriouseats.com/2013/12/print/finding-great-desserts-in-va... James Coleridge won both the Jury and People's Choice awards at the 2012 Florence Gelato Festival. The guy is good, and you can get what he's making at Bella Gelateria . His pride shows in having the whole gelato-making process on display to his customers, and using quality ingredients to make unique �avors in small-batch production. Calling his product "culinary-based gelato" (Bella maximizes �avor intensity by infusing his gelato and sorbetto bases for at least 12 hours), Coleridge explains that "I want to be ethnically inclusive in �avor pro�les because Vancouver is multicultural." The ever-changing list of �avors might include akbar mashti, Thai coconut milk, and matcha. My pictured pairing ($6.43 for a double scoop) is an odd combination, but since Bella uses high quality chocolate, I �rst wanted to try Michel Cluizel's Mokaya Single Plantation (66%) for its earthy �avor and licorice notes. With that, I went away from the gelato menu and chose Faloudah sorbet. Based on the Persian dessert, the sorbet is scented with rosewater and contains actual rice vermicelli noodles. It's a light and refreshing contrast to the rich chocolate. 2 of 3 4/15/2021, 12:57 PM Finding Great Desserts in Vancouver is as Easy as 1 (Pastry), 2 (Scoops ... https://sweets.seriouseats.com/2013/12/print/finding-great-desserts-in-va... For co�ee and donuts, I recommend Cartems Donuterie . Cartems serves Matchstick co�ee, prepared my preferred way: as a pour-over (Chemex). The donut display will make you salivate, constantly getting replenished as new ones make their way to the counter. I bought three doughnuts ($2.86 each) to take to my wood-topped table and stump stool. For colorful appeal (and out of curiosity, as I was told it's the most popular choice), I got the Earl Grey. A steep in the butter infuses the doughnut with earl grey �avor, which appears again in the glaze, while a sprinkling of rose petals adds �oral fragrance and �avor. To satisfy my chocolate craving, I went with a Chocolate Sweet Snow doughnut, which is topped with white chocolate ganache (made with coconut milk and Callebaut white chocolate) and organic coconut. But my favorite was the Maple Glaze, a yeast doughnut that's not overly sweet, and buoyed by walnuts that are smoked and spiced on site. 3 of 3 4/15/2021, 12:57 PM.

Translittération et prononciation du mar円†h¥¥¥ La langue marå†h¥ moderne s’écrit, comme l’hind¥, avec l’alphabet d„vanågar¥ (du sanskrit). Nous utilisons dans cet ouvrage la translittération romane proposée en 1988 par la National Library de Calcutta et consignée dans la norme ISCII (Bureau of Indian Standards, 1991). La prolongation des voyelles est marquée par un surlignement, exemple Ë versus u. En accord avec la norme, mais contrairement à un usage répandu, nous surlignons aussi la voyelle ‘„’ ( , code ISCII 172) bien qu’on ne puisse la désigner comme « prolongée ». Cette singularité est justifiée par l’existence d’un ‘e’ bref (code 171) spécifique aux langues du sud de l’Inde. Le point diacritique au-dessous d’une consonne occlusive (ex. ∂, †) dénote une prononciation rétroflexe (langue recourbée). Les consonnes ∫, ñ et ˆ servent à nasaliser la voyelle qui les précède à des points d’articulation différents. Particularités du marå†h¥ La différence entre voyelles longues et brèves est moins marquée en marå†h¥ qu’en hind¥. La voyelle muette du marå†h¥ est proche du ‘e’ muet du français [ђ], bien qu’on la transcrive ‘a’ comme il est d’usage en hind¥ et en sanskrit.

  • Spring- Summer 2020 Haute Couture
    SPRING- SUMMER 2020 HAUTE COUTURE THÉ AU TRIANON It is the Spring of 2020. A beating pulse of passion lines the streets. To mark the brands 10th Anniversary, AZZI & OSTA presents a deeply personal collection. Far from a nod to a rebellious uprising in a different land, a different time, Thé au Trianon is a celebration of the art of legendary Parisian Pâtissiers told through the repertoire of Haute Couture with lashings of prettiness and sensuality. “To celebrate our anniversary, we wanted to share our joy and our optimism, a sense of playfulness and, a moment of escapism. To capture that moment of excitement when someone says it is dessert time!” George Azzi & Assaad Osta- Creative Directors, of AZZI & OSTA. The artistry and innovation of the Pâtissier, the preciseness of hand, the lightness of touch- it is so closely aligned with that of the Couturier. Each creation of AZZI & OSTA’S 20- piece collection honours the most delightful of sweet delicacies, the Mont Blanc, Saint-Honoré, Tarte Citron, Praline, Meringue, Macaron and, the tools of the Pâtissier; pip- ping bags and doilies captured through a dreamy pastel colour palette evoking the romanticism of the Rococo; Vanille, Meringue Citron, Chocolat, Framboise, Pistache, Sorbet Agrume, Lavende. Feminine sculpted silhouettes are characterized by signature manipulated asymmetrical values and intricate ornamentation. Structured gowns, jumpsuits, midi dresses, peplum tops with high-low trains, slim intricately embroidered pants and statement puff-ball skirts are infused with modernity. Weightless taffetas, tulle and silks, luscious layers of point d’esprit Mille Feuille ebb and flow tickling the senses while extraordinary details; hand-beaded chocolate flakes, feathery em- broidery, swirls of Chantilly, Velvet icing, sumptuous tulle fluff and floral frosting burst with a delicious decorative playfulness.
