A 22nd Punctual Picks with its share of discoveries.

Violette & Berlingot

During my getaway to Vichy (in French), I stopped in Lyon on the way back. While wandering around the city, I came across Violette et Berlingot by chance. This little shop offers brightly coloured artisanal sweets. I fell in love with these almost crystalline treats. A lovely assortment that will no doubt make me want to return!

Tea Time ; Chloë Prestwich

As soon as a book about tea time appears in bookshops, I can’t help exploring it. Unsurprisingly, it always ends up in my basket. By Chloë Prestwich, this book gathers scones, cakes, sandwiches and other English treats. I have to admit I have a real soft spot for English cooking.

Bollywood Kitchen

Sandra Salmandjee, alias Sanjee, brilliantly combines tradition and modernity. After ten years in fashion at Cacharel and Agnès b., she devoted herself to her passion, cooking. In a decade, she won over amateurs and professionals alike. On her blog, she shares inventive, colourful and modern Indian cooking. Sanjee masters spices to perfection.

Martha Stewart ; An American Icon

Martha Stewart is an essential icon in the United States. Directed by R.J. Cutler, the Netflix documentary Martha delves into the life of this entrepreneur with an extraordinary career. The film looks back at her modest beginnings and first culinary successes. It also traces her rise to becoming a lifestyle reference. This portrait reveals a more intimate side of the woman who redefined the American art of living. It also covers the obstacles, including a prison sentence that could have marked the end of her empire. An inspiring story of perseverance and innovation from a true American monument.

Bretzel and Gretel

Discovered during a press meal at the Edelweiss (in French), the Geneva brand Bretzel and Gretel immediately won over my taste buds. A fan of chocolate and pretzels, I find their combination delicious. I also noticed that the brand doesn’t stop at chocolate-coated pretzels. Its other products are still unknown to me, but they will tempt me sooner or later.
