Soraiya Nagree of La Patisserie: What’s in Your Fridge Friday?
As the chef owner of Luxe Sweets, an online bakery, and the newly opened pastry and coffee shop La Patisserie, Nagree is making French favorites like millefeuille and lemon sables that are hard to find in Austin.
(Don’t worry if you can’t pronounce millefeuille. Soraiya offered staff members French lessons so they can help you learn to eat all those vowel sounds before you devour the “thousand-leaf” pastry.)
The adorable little house-turned-coffee shop at the corner of Annie and South First Street in South Austin feels prim and elegant, but because Soraiya has a 14-month-old son, it also has a small space for kids to play in while their parents enjoy a few cups of French-pressed coffee.
Soraiya says that in 2011, she hopes to be a better businesswoman and to exercise. (From one mom to another: Running two businesses and chasing a toddler definitely count as exercise, so don’t beat yourself up if you don’t run a few miles a week on top of it all.)
What three things are always in your fridge? Horizon whole milk for my son, garlic ginger paste that my mom makes and cheese (any — I love cheese!)
What’s your favorite condiment? Nutella- it is my guilty indulgence, especially on croissants
What’s the first thing you pull out of the fridge in the morning? Milk and OJ, at the same time
