Plum cakes and fruit cakes might be a quintessential Christmas
treat for Kolkatans, but there’s always something new to explore. This
Christmas, take your tastebuds on an international journey, all the to the land
of the black forest cake — Germany!
The city’s popular bakery Brown’s has a traditional treat this
Yuletide. The stollen, a German Christmas bread is a fruit bread packed with
candied or dried fruits, nuts, and flavoured with warm winter spices and a hint
of citrus usually from fruit zest. The Kolkata bakery, café and artisanal
caterer are bringing the Stollen to you this winter.
Also known as Weihnachtsstollen or Christstollen
during Christmas, the Brown’s version will have rum-soaked fruits, nuts, and
all the hearty, warm goodness of the traditional recipe, plus a little
surprise! “We are making authentic Stollen with
a log of house-made marzipan baked into it,” said owner Vanita Tondon.
If you want to explore but don’t want to invest
right away, then the Stollen is also available by the slice at the cafe so you
can sample some before you buy the log. There are other Christmas treats available
at Brown’s like Christmas Cake with Vanilla Custard, Sticky Date Cake, Yule
Log, Fraisier Tubs and Shortbread sticks.
