La Folie Jalapeno & Cheddar Sourdough from
Masa Bakery
We know this very popular confectionery brand for their chocolates
and cakes they dish out from their lab, but Pastry Queen, Chef
Sanjana Patel has much more under her sleeve. Did you know that
La Folie is known for its breads that include a wide array of
sourdough, fresh and inviting. Quinoa Sourdough, Buckwheat and
Oats Sourdough, Olive & Roasted Garlic Sourdough, a Whole Wheat
Sourdough, Seeded Multigrain Sourdough and a French Baguette
Sourdough, too. Try the Pain au Chocolat in sourdough bread and
the Butter Croissant as well. There’s a Harvest Loaf on the shelves,
which is yours for the taking, either at the La Folie stores in Kala
Ghoda and Mahalaxmi or via delivery, at www.lafolie.in
Americano

It bodes us well to take a walk to this Kala Ghoda eatery by ex-
Table chef, Alex Sanchez and partner, Mallyeka Watsa when we
want a nice little lunch to keep us sated yet awake during the work
day. But more so, Americano is for the sourdough, one among our
top choices for the bread in Bombay. It’s just the one that Chef
Alex rustles up, and that’s enough. The San Francisco Sourdough is
flavoured with wild fennel and a cultured butter that renders it a soft
yet crunchy texture with a mild taste, just right! Leave it to the chef
from San Fran to hold authority over this sourdough, so you know
you’re in trusted hands here. This works great for when we want to
slather some avocado on or some chicken liver pâté – perfect little
nibbles with sourdough that is comforting. Head to Americano to
pick yours up, no delivery for this order, unfortunately!
