My shop...

Yesterday I was flipping through my new cookbook 'Parijs' and I thought of all the things I would like to sell in my 'Dream-shop'...the shop I have in mind to open in the future.

It will be a shop with delicious straight-forward sweets, pretty wanna-have things like books and scarves and great music in the background.
I made a list of the things that made me hungry and things I like to eat the most. And that I would like to sell in my shop...
Do you think it's a good list?

Drinks:

- Good coffee like Lavazza or Illy with organic milk. All the classic Italian styles.
I don't like coco-powder on my coffee, I prefer a dash of cinnamon instead.
- Great aromatic teas like Chinese and Japanese green tea. A classic Ceylon black tea, for the ones that need a bit of a kick. Then some herbal infusions like ginger lemon or orange cinnamon, which I can make myself. Served with local honey or cane-sugar.
- Home-made hot chocolate with organic milk and a bit of cinnamon( if you like). With or without hand-whipped cream.
- Organic apple juice, fresh orange juice and superfresh centrifuged juices-mixes like green apple and lime.

Sweets:

- Several kinds of cake, like chocolate/orange, lemon/poppyseed, apple/almond.
- Madeleines in naturally colored shades of pink.
- The unmistakable 'Tarte-Tatin'.
- Dutch apple pie, on a special 'Apple-pie-Day'. With cream of course!
- Fudgy chocolate cake, when you're feeling lonely or when it's just raining outside...
- Lemoncurd pie in Summer.
- Tiramisu with raspberries or ripe pears.
- A variety of cookies, like american chocolate chip and Dutch 'speculaasjes'.
- Eclairs.
- Blueberry muffins.
- Carrotcake with orange-flavoured icing.

I can't wait!

Strong cuppa coffee!
