The donut, that little doughnut with a hole in the middle, is an American trademark. They're a veritable institution in the U.S., and don't believe what you see in American movies - it's not just policemen who devour them! So how do you go about finding a quality donut in the capital? Well, all you have to do is take the road to the lively Montorgueil district and enter the little Boneshaker Doughnuts store.
At the helm are Amanda, an American pastry chef, and Louis, an Irishman, experts in their field whom we're more than willing to trust! Every morning, they lovingly prepare a dozen different homemade donut recipes just for us. Forget plain or chocolate-covered doughnuts, at Boneshaker Doughnuts you'll find glazes made with caramelized candy popcorn, chocolate and cookie chips, or toasted marshmallows.
And for lunchtime, there are recipes for savoury doughnuts, for a change from the classic ham-and-butter!
