Upstairs, Downstairs, and in the Kitchen

Upstairs, Downstairs, and in the Kitchen

As many of you may already know, I spent two weeks last month in Ireland with a group of fellow classmates on an NYU Food Studies graduate study abroad program. During the course of our time together we crisscrossed the lush, green country and studied Ireland's food culture, food systems, agriculture industry, history, and the current gastronomic landscape. As part of the course assignments we put together a blog with each student contributing once per week. For the next couple of posts I will be sharing my blogs from the trip - I hope you enjoy!

Gluten-Free Food Shopping in Paris

This post will wrap up my series dedicated to eating gluten-free in Paris. If you have missed any of the prior posts be sure to look back and catch up.

This post I will be talking about another favorite gluten-free spot I discovered in Paris last summer called Helmut Newcake. There were two locations then - one near the Canal Saint Martin and the other in La Madeliene. The first location has since closed and the website indicates that a new project is in process - let's hope it is an expanded café coming soon!

Sorry for the delay in my latest post. I will make the wait worth it by giving you a delicious insider scoop! I am going to be doing a series of posts on gluten-free dining in Paris. I spent over a month there this past summer and had a glorious time filled with amazing food. The first part of the series is a bit about why I am gluten-free and what gluten-free means.

That First Marché in Paris

That First Marché in Paris

We struck out early on a cool and cloudy morning for Marchè d’Aligre. It was the first of many marché visits we made over the course of our two weeks together in France. It was everything you would expect of an outdoor French market. There were stalls abundant with vibrant fruits and vegetables, boisterous competing vendors attempting to solicit sales from passersby with a running commentary about their superior products, and a calmer indoor enclosed section featuring meats, cheeses and other specialty items.

Two Weeks in Paris

Two Weeks in Paris

Having not studied abroad as an undergrad, the opportunity to make up for it during my graduate studies was something I eagerly anticipated. I planned to take the Global Food Cultures course in Paris back when I first applied to the master’s program in Food Studies at NYU Steinhardt.
