    Croissants

    Croissants

    The word Croissant could be the epitome of a Sunday brunch under the French art de Vivre guidelines.

    We know what to expect when we bite into a fluffy and crispy curved croissant.
    They are easily found in cafes, bakeries, in the frozen bread and desserts section of stores, and in the kitchen of talented bakers.

    Yet, before becoming mainstream and ubiquitous, where did the humble croissant originate from?
    Let's find out!

    The epic of this curvy viennoiserie is like the delicacy itself: a multilayered thing, that will take the listener from the first café in Imperial Vienna to the Valley of the Nile.

    We'll uncover the connection between food, ancient civilizations, the power of symbols, and why biting into a croissant is a true continuation of History.
