- Favorite Garden
- Favorite Gift to bring friends
All of this has me thinking about Paris even more, so today I am spotlighting my favorite pastries in Paris - where and how to eat them.
- Favorite Formal Pastry - the pink Ispahan (far left) at Laduree. Dine indoors on a pale green paper-covered table on the Champs-Elysee. The ispahan is pink, you get to eat a real rose petal, the meringue is crunchy sweet and the cream center and fresh raspberries are divine.
- Favorite Macaroon - a 6-piece assortment from Pierre Herme. Eat them on a nearby bench at Place St Sulpice.
- Favorite Millefeuille - at a table with friends at Angelina's on Rue de Rivoli
- Favorite Treat to eat out of a bag while you walk: Financier from Laduree - a small rectangular or almond shaped (2 bite) cake that holds it's shape, as a resiliant sponge texture and a delicate almond flavor
- Favorite Cookie: a box of Punitions from Poilane bakery is full of tiny fluted butter cookies that are perfect with tea in the courtyard of your hotel.
