Nora Glanz's bakery and fine desserts

Nora Glanz's fine pastries and desserts originate in traditional family recipes. They come from the old country especially from Germany and Poland. Young Nora learnt the art of making her pastries one by one from the hands of her grandmother and her mother in Neuquen, Patagonia, Argentina.

This is the place where she was born and raised, a region at the foot of the Andes, famous for its delicious berries and fruits that lend themselves so well to be used for beauty and taste in tarts, big or small, luscious cakes and fresh desserts served as a culmination of a fine meal.

 For some time she's been giving her new customers in the United States the chance to experience the results of her sure touch while recently incorporating some of the South's best kept secrets.
