Bohemian French toast chocolate sandwiches
I am sitting on the pavement outside the Café de la Paix in a pleasant tumult of people recounting to one another
all sorts of important things. In the background, Dalida is singing a duet with Alain Delon about toffee and candies
and chocolate and I imagine them walking in, taking a seat in the corner, drinking a glass of red, and whispering
to one another all sorts of things so beautifully unimportant.

Contentious chocolate chip cookies
When the devil’s craving for fresh cookies crawls up the tiny veins in your head, don’t ever listen to your inner
advocate, who gives an inspiring speech on “self-control and the cookie jar.” Just give in and behave like all the
great achievements of humankind have been fulfilled: go for it all the way... enjoy!

Dreamy warm Danish
Only now, as the bulldozers raze the old confectionery, has the smell of cinnamon—no longer rising in the
chimney—changed within our memory to the magical reality that we always wanted it to be.

Intimate scones
Through the window of our café, I watch as you heap butter and jam and fresh cream onto a golden pastry just
the way we liked it. You serve it to his mouth and prove to me once again that romanticism is the mass market
product of intimacy.

My one and only cocoa Crêpe Suzette
The breeze on the balcony touches his face gently. He is playing a slow tune on the violin. It’s such a beautiful
night. Through the tears that fill his eyes the flames are breaking into thousands of sparkling colors. Quietly he
comforts himself and whispers: “You are not going to be mine, Rome, but you won’t belong to anyone else.”

Control freak chocolate spread
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to present the precise structure of the chronicle of lust: in the middle of the
night, returning from a party and swearing a thousand times that it’s just a touch, simply to feel, on the tip of the
tongue, only once, and then giving in, full of longing, and disappointing yourself and deciding, without wavering
or doubt, that now the technique for abstaining is absolutely clear—there will be no more next time, and I mean
it for real.

Intimate Hungarian crêpes
Shortly after it grows dark, I enter our secret place and sit in the corner, the spot that moves only us. Everyone
comes to taste the famed creˆpes of the Hungarian café that was once known only to us and is now full to
capacity. I smile a tiny, pensive smile to myself: not one of these countless people will ever experience its true
taste, the intimate taste created by you and me.

Politically correct Sacher torte
Shortly before winter, the Viennese papers were full of agitated news reports about the complete ban imposed
by the government on the use of cocoa. Mention was made of the serious damage incurred by the famous
Demel pastry shop, with Mr. Demel’s picture alongside. But anyone who looked closely would discern a smile
of joy on his lips, inexplicable in light of the circumstances, or perhaps perfectly explicable in light of the similar
circumstances of the Sacher pastry shop, Demel’s lifelong nemesis.

Max and Moritz profiteroles
The scent of warm dough mixed with brown caramel. Metal trays overflowing with golden pastries on the wire
shelving at the window are winking to you to come in. The bakery is eternal, the baker is ageless. But Max and
Moritz are at the counter standing in the queue like everybody else and buying their favorite childhood sweet,
exactly like we always wanted them to be.
