To celebrate St. Nicholas, here are the creations

To celebrate St. Nicholas, here are the creations of three pastry chefs born in the East of France, between Champagne and Alsace...

The Alsatian chef Pascal Hainigue, head pastry chef at the Parisian Palace le Bristol, is offering a magnificent and delicious “Savoy cake” at the “Epicerie du Bristol” (hotel's grocery store).
Spectacular, this very airy cake is obtained by the delicate incorporation of whipped cream, which gives it a soft texture, accompanied by a zest of citrus fruit to enhance the taste. At the “Epicerie du Bristol” you will also find wonderful homemade chocolate sweets.

The famous pastry chef from Lorraine, Sébastien Gaudard, is a founding member of the “Association des Lorrains de Paris”, which has been organising the “Saint Nicolas” celebrations in Paris for a few years, with the Saint and his donkey going up the rue des Martyrs handing out sweets to children.
Sébastien Gaudard offers in his Parisian shops delicious gingerbread and, in particular, “Mannele” with the image of the Saint...

Finally, the baker Erik Kayser, another world-famous Lorraine baker, honours St. Nicholas with “papillotes” (chocolate bonbons) but also with soft almond “Bredele” and a marvellous “stolen” cake.
Erik Kayser's “stolen” is like a reinvented fruit cake. Filled with almond paste, raisins and candied fruit such as lemon or orange peel, this brioche bread has a slightly flattened shape that allows for generous slices where the filling remains visible.
Depending on your taste and wishes, it can be served cold or warm for snack time...

A very happy St. Nicholas to all!

Cheers !

The Legend of Saint Nicholas... Legend says that

The Legend of Saint Nicholas...

Legend says that, as winter approaches, three children, out gleaning in the fields, get lost on their way home; attracted by the light filtering through the windows of a house, they approach and knock on the door. The man who opens the door, “Pierre Lenoir” (“Peter Schwartz” in Germany), a butcher by trade, agrees to give them hospitality for the night.

In fact, as soon as the children enter, he kills them, then, with a large knife, cuts them into small pieces, and finally puts them in his salt cellar (a large tub filled with salt), in order to make salted food.

Saint Nicholas, riding his donkey, passes by and knocks on the butcher's door. The man, not daring to reject a bishop, invites him to dinner. When his guest asks for some salted food, the butcher realizes that he has been discovered and, caught in the trap, confesses everything.

The holy man then stretches three fingers over the barrel of salt pork, thus reconstituting and resurrecting the three children.

St Nicholas then chains the butcher to his donkey and keeps him around to punish him. The latter becomes the “Père Fouettard” (“Knecht Ruprecht” in Germany), an evil being whose role is to reprimand disobedient children and dunces, with his violent and irascible character.

Always dressed in black, hidden under a bonnet and a thick black beard, he is the complete opposite of Saint Nicholas, who has a beautiful white beard, colourful bishop's clothes (mauve and white, with a crozier, originally golden, then red and white, which brings him closer to the present-day Father Christmas (Saint Nikolaus became Santa Klaus)), and always gives the image of a benevolent person.

A very happy St. Nicholas to all!

Cheers!

And here comes December and the time of “St. Nicholas”!

Dried raisins, sweets, cakes and gingerbread bearing the image of the holy bishop... and champagne!

This is the reward for all those who have been good throughout the year! However, the bogeyman is not far away to punish all the children who have not been good.

As early as the 10th century, a relic (a phalanx of the saint) was transferred from Bari (Italy) to the Duchy of Lorraine (France), and a large basilica was built south of Nancy at Saint-Nicolas-de-Port.

Venerated and often invoked, he very quickly became the patron saint of Lorraine. As Port was a city renowned for its fairs and markets, the cult of Saint Nicholas quickly spread beyond the borders of the Duchy of Lorraine and, in particular, across the Rhine where the tradition is still very much alive.

Saint Nicholas is still celebrated in a large number of European countries, including France (Saint-Nicolas) , Germany (Nikolaus), Switzerland (Nikolaus), Luxembourg (Kleeschen), Belgium (Sinterklaas), the Netherlands (Sinterklaas), Russia (Святителяниколая), Poland (Mikołajki), Austria (Nikolo), etc.

On the night of 5 to 6 December, the saint visits houses to bring good children sweets.

This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy sweets and gingerbread while celebrating the arrival of winter.

A very happy St. Nicholas to all!

Cheers!
