Anita is an excellent stylist, my preferred! She works Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri, Sat<\/p><\/div>\n

Sometimes when you travel, the urge to eat something familiar causes a craving. Craving cheesecake? When it came up in a conversation, I realized that (1) I wanted a piece of cheesecake and (2) it seems to be quite popular in Paris. I decided it is time for a cheesecake project: Start making a list of cheesecake places in Paris! Good ideas begin in the most unusual places.<\/p>\n

Hair salon conversation covers a wide range of subjects. Chez<\/em> Glamour, my coiffeuse, Anita, and a client touched on light subjects:\u00a0 actors and cheesecake. The women in the salon agreed that the transition from child actor to adult actor is difficult.\u00a0 We shared good opinions about Johnny Depp and Leonardo di Caprio, and decided that they are two successful examples. Then the conversation moved on to a weightier topic: cheesecake.\"cheesecake<\/a><\/p>\n

Anita, who owns Glamour, has a desire for American cheesecake and wonders what kind of cheese to use. If she wants to make a New York cheesecake, where can she buy the American ingredient Philadelphia Cream Cheese? And where does she find a recipe?<\/p>\n

Two of us agree that frommage frais<\/a><\/strong> will work for her and suggest adding some frommage blanc<\/a><\/strong> (Jockey or Fjord–two types of light sour cream). The two cheeses are essentially the same thing.<\/p>\n

The search mission of the project begins as I roll my caddie shopping trolley<\/strong> along (as if I am still a flight attendant) to go grocery shopping, I jump on bus 69 and head over to the Marais area close by. Schwartz’s Deli<\/strong> carries the Philadelphia Cream Cheese for Anita’s baking project.\u00a0 With one 200 gram pack in my Schwartz’s brown bag, I head back to the Bastille and deliver it to Anita. (Later, I discover that Monoprix rue Saint-Antoine near the Saint-Paul metro carries the cream cheese as well). The next step is to translate a recipe for her.<\/p>\n

\"Grand<\/a>I volunteer to translate one of my recipes. For all francophiles out there, you can thank goodness for Quebec! KraftCanada<\/strong> has all the cheesecake recipes in French. The task at hand just gotten easier. All I have to do is email her the link! Cheesecake takes some time to prepare. (I hope I can try a piece when she is done.)<\/p>\n

In the meantime, it may be easier to just take her a piece of cheesecake from Schwartz’s where they use the Philadelphia cream cheese. This project has turned into a d\u00e9gustation<\/em> of cheesecakes! The three cheesecakes I have tasted in the Marais are delicious. Schwartz’s is the most traditional of three Marais cheesecake makers.<\/p>\n

The other two shops\/restaurants, Sacha Finkelsztajn (the yellow boutique) and Pitzman (with the Grand Central clock hanging outside) make cheesecakes in the frommage blanc style, both slightly different and delicious in their own right. To read more about French style cheesecake, visit Saveurs du Monde<\/a><\/strong> and use Google Translate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like the rind flora on a cheese, the types of cheesecake, the shops and the caf\u00e9s selling them keep multiplying. Up the street from Schwartz’s is a shop distinctly designed for girls who like pink, Princess Cr\u00eape. While visiting the museum, I noticed that the caf\u00e9 at the Jacquemart-Andr\u00e9 is another place to try various styles of cheesecake.<\/p>\n

What began as a request for cream cheese and a recipe is turning into a never ending delicious project and calls for more sit ups!<\/p>\n

Mo makes the best cheesecake and it has variety. The cheesecake comes out different each time – in a good way. You know it is home made. He decorates it with the swirls of strawberry sauce.<\/p>\n

Blues Bar-B-Q also serves real hickory chip cooked barbeque for that taste away from home. If you want their home sauce (vinegar and pepper) on the pulled pork, don’t say anything. If you want the meat plain, ask for it plain. They are American and speak English.<\/p>\n
