Oh Holy Mac!
Macaron that is!
I've been back 2 weeks today and I am already missing Ladurée and their famous macarons. I don't think it is purely a pregnancy craving, for me it is a LIFELONG craving!
Hope you each have a weekend filled with something delicious!

PS ~ They serve a fabulous brunch on the weekends. I am kicking myself (or is that they baby?) for not going and enjoying every second!

WOW! Was that a giant macaron with raspberries in the middle? Heaven!
Oh how I wish Laduree printed a cookbook on how to make their amazing desserts. Did you happen to try a "divorcee" while you were there?
Great pictures as well. Tell is what "bergamot" is? Is it fruity?

Yes, that was a giant macaron! I am sure Nadine enjoyed it immensely!
Ladurée does offer a cookbook or two, check out there site. I did try a "divorcée" while in Paris and it was DELICIOUS! I can't tell you how I long for the pastries. It's bad, I assure you.
Bergamot is a citrus-y type of fruit grown mostly in Italy. The essential oils are extracted for many uses: perfume, body products and even Earl Grey tea! To read more check out what Wikipedia has to say about it.

Thank you for stopping by! I love your blog and will visit often for kitchen inspiration!
I was disappointed though because I was unable to leave a comment on your blog due to the options you had available as the user.

oh...they look so scrumptious! Can you believe I have never tried a macaroon yet. lol
Lately I've been really wanting to go to Paris. I'm hoping to get a chance maybe this fall to go there for a few days, but it's not for sure right now. Oh well, I have to learn to be patient...

Oh my are they good! You will positively be in heaven when you sink into one for the 1st time. Get a selection of the larger ones for your 1st experience, not the small "snack" size.
Well, whenever you do go to Paris let me know! You would be one lucky gal to have gone to Italy in the Spring and now Paris in the Fall... sounds like an ideal year!
Have a fab weekend!
xo,
K

I'm going to have to see if my local bakery can make these! I keep coming back to look at your pics of them when I get hungry for something sweet!

Oh VC, you would love these! They are SO delicious ~ words, pictures and drolling cannot describe!
Let me know if they attempt to make them for you and how they turn out!

Hmmmm... macarons and sitting around a lot sounds like a highly dangerous combination for a woman of style!

Well, thank goodness I'm not in France any longer! No macarons here for me here in SoCal.
And yes, having too much down time for a "woman of style" is extremely frustrating!
