A treasure chest of culinary and Alsacian goodies.
There are many of Ferber’s baker’s dozen of excellent cookbooks.
The newest one - a collaboration with her favorite Alsacian artist, Guy Untereiner. More to come on this.
Dear Coco Jobard showed me this jam jar dishtowel/torchon de confitures of Guy Untereiner years ago. It was instant love❤️I’m still searching for it. Coco knew everyone in the French food world and designed-styled several of Christine’s cookbooks.
By 10 o’clock on Sunday morning (which is early for the French) the shop was buzzing with customers.
We had already visited at least 4-5 times😊
The desserts were particularly enthralling. There are daily plats du jours you can take home/emporter.
The Alsacian classic kougelhopf sits in the front window.
Outside early Sunday morning
The town of Niedermorschwir
Shows off its jewels
To best advantage.
I finally found an Alsacian stork in residence👏🥂🤸♂️
Saturday evening Christine invited us to a feast at the Maison Bleu, an exceptionally authentic restaurant for local dishes.
Including THREE of her stunning desserts from the shop!
In the afternoon I was madly painting her jam jars as a petite cadeau 🎁
Sunday morning before returning back to Paris, Christine let us watch her hand-make chocolate-enrobed exquisite little cookies.
This morning I tried to paint them but I ate too many cookies in the process😳
What a glorious trip we had to visit Niedermorschwir and Maison Christin Ferber. I will be dreaming about it and hoping to return soon… You must too🙏 Do not forget the fabulous wine routes to travel.Thanks for reading Parisbreakfast.
Carol, your recent posts have really cheered me up as I recover from nasty foot and ankle surgery, done in the hope that I’ll be able to walk around Paris again in the not too distant future!
Niedermorschwir is such a beautiful place.Also seeing the yummy tarts and chocolate cookies has made me hungry. Always appreciate your sharing your travels with us Carol. -Suzanne P.
Merci for this article...I have wanted to visit this Bakery for years and now you have inspired me...we will visit this Autumn before we leave Beaune (our summer home) this year! Merci, merci &&& love your painting of this Jam Jar! Yum! a bientôt, P.Flournoy
You will not be disappointed. We stayed at Hotel de l’Ange just across the street. We had at least 4 Christine Ferber jams for breakfast! Very reasonable too.
watching these photos makes me drooling over here. The jams, pastries and chocolate, we were in paradise :-) I love that watercolor you made in the afternoon there, looks like a dream <3 And the one you made this morning is so cute with its small hearts on the lid!
What a wonderful experience! Thank you for sharing it with us. I am still traveling vicariously. I love your water color. I that a small piggy bank? You can begin saving for your next trip.
I could not resist the red dotty piggy bank and many other things in the shop. I never left empty-handed. So many things to discover like a little notebook hidden in a corner. It is like a dolls house. You keep discovering things !
My god that looks like such a special place and a wonderful trip! You could be at work at making trip plans for people to jump from town to town and what they have to say in each one. That was so unique
I knew about C’s jams but I never dreamed she might have so many goodies in her shop… or that her town would be so paintable! Thanks for the armchair tour.
I am an ardent fan of CF’s jams…always one of the first things we buy to stock our kitchen when arriving in France…and again, putting in a supply to bring home with us when we leave. Lovely, picturesque town. I can’t wait to visit! Thanks for the tour Christine Ferber’s world in Niedermorchwhir…lovely! ❤️
I love your post…love CF jams. ❤️ A jam map is a great idea to introduce people to her jams. You tend to think, how different could jam be?? But her jams are like a whole different species! So fresh tasting…like eating real fruit. Yum!
I so enjoyed your post about Colmar. We visited there during a Christmas Markets tour. If you haven’t been to Strasbourg for their Christmas markets you really need to go. It was absolutely magical - almost beyond words ( and lots of storks) . You’d love it !!!!
What a brilliant trip you had and such an incredible way for telling this story. Your a storyteller as well as an illustrator Carol. You have to make a book with those stories, encounters and your passion for French beautiful things ❤️
Carol, your recent posts have really cheered me up as I recover from nasty foot and ankle surgery, done in the hope that I’ll be able to walk around Paris again in the not too distant future!

DeleteThe 5 skills they are trained in: PÂTISSIER, CONFISEUR, CHOCOLATIER, GLACIER, BOULANGER, TRAITEUR 👏👏👏👏👏

ReplyDeleteWhere can we buy her Jams in the states ? I loved my Christmas in Alsace . I’ve never seen so many flowers draping from houses .
DeletePoilane ships to the US. In addition to their terrific baked goods, they also sell (and ship) CF’s jams.
DeleteWow! I did not know that!? Great news 👏👏👏
DeleteCan the jams be purchased in the USA?
ReplyDeleteSo far I dont think so. You could ask on the site..link in story
DeleteFabulous! Your photos! Your watercolors! Christine Ferber’s “goodies”! What a stunningly picturesque village.
ReplyDeleteLove love love this post! Niedermorchwhir looks like a storybook village, so beautiful. Thank you for sharing all the Christine Ferber goodies.

ReplyDeleteIs it possible they are better than the real fruit? Especially when vanilla etc. Is added in.
DeleteWhat a wonderful new discover! As always in love with all your blogs Carol, and your art always a delight!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing wonderful adventure, spice, and GOOD CHEER to my LIFE, ALWAYS!!!
ReplyDeleteBest to you and Bear!
