Sunday is Macaroon Day in France :)


I know, enough with the macaroons already! But we cannot help ourselves...they are such delectable little morsels, so beautiful, so... darn happy! The French love them so much that Sunday, March 20 is the 5th Annual Macaroon Day in France! You can taste different macaroons all over Paris...if you happen to be there. If not, you can enjoy this video from Ladurée sharing their secrets (in French) to making the beloved macaroons in their famous kitchen. Be sure to visit their site too, it's a great little diversion at the end of a very difficult week for us all.

Enjoy!

this is enjoyable, even in French, and the chef's kind of cute too...oh
the Kate Winslet bit at the beginning is in English:









Thanks for visiting! xxx Kit

  4. Hi Kit, after reading the paper this morning and seeing all the sadness in so many parts of the world, I was gladdened to see your lovely post. It made me think of the garden colors of spring.

  7. I bought only two treats at Laduree, but they packaged it as if I had bought dozens. It was so lovely that I saved the box!

  8. No way. This is the reason why they were giving out free Macaroons at the Supermarket yesterday. They wanted you to taste them before buying them. And I had to come here to get why. You rock. All the best, talk soon
