Diana Henry, author of Roast Figs, Sugar Snow and other books, named Warsaw blueberry pastries as the year’s highlight.
Recalling her visit to Poland to meet Monika Walecka, the owner of four bakeries in Warsaw, including Cała w Mące, Henry writes: “Unbeknown to me it was the best time of year to go: wild blueberry season."
She adds: "It’s difficult to convey how important that is in Poland. The blueberries are glorious, perfectly positioned between sweet and tart. Monika does different kinds of blueberry buns: one was a sort of danish pastry with custard in the middle and blueberries on top, another was a turnover with blueberries inside.”
Henry tells her readers: “My favourite was probably the brioche dough stuffed with blueberries. It was absolutely glorious.”
