Pure by Cuppa @ Harvey Nichols
October 16th, 2006 | Category: Baked Goods
A couple of months ago, Turkey’s first open-air mall opened in Ä°stanbul: Kanyon. Besides its unusual architecture, the main attraction of the mall (for me at least) was some of the new brands that entered the Turkish market. Among these, I was extremely happy with Haagen Dazs and Wagamama. Although the traffic from home or office to the mall is a bitch, it didn’t matter. There was Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream at the end of the trip. Needless to hide, I even considered buying a house at the residential tower to be closer to my ice cream. Thankfully, the ice cream was made available in other supermarkets in a very short time.
The latest attraction of the mall is the new store that opened last Thursday: Harvey Nichols. A Balenciaga handbag with a price tag of 25.000 USD made the news headlines, but there was another news that was particularly important for me.

Melissa at The Traveler’s Lunchbox started a project in August, asking fellow bloggers to name 5 things to eat before they die.

A million things popped up in my mind. However, it took me only a minute to come up with the final 5.
So here is my list:

Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Herme
October 01st, 2006 | Category: Baked Goods, Chocolate, Cookies
Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Herme arrived from Amazon during a very light work day. Having heard raving reviews about the book, I gazed through many wonderful creations to choose one to try after work. Although I had my eye on the chocolate macaroons, I decided to postpone baking them to a future weekend and try Viennese Chocolate Sables.
I must say… These are by far the best cookies (well… let`s say there is a tie between these and my Chocolate Chip Cookies) I have ever baked. Delicious buttery taste, crumbly and cocoa flavor at its best. No surprise of course: Everyone who tasted these cookies loved them.
