I’ve always
thought that macarons might be the most beautiful pastry to photograph. treat,
macarons are pink, green, purple, and yellow. They can be stuffed full with
raspberries, chocolate, or cream. They can be stacked tall on a plate and put
in any light. They always look delicious. The Frenchness of macarons somehow
makes them tastier, fancier, and more photogenic to me than they would be
otherwise. I daydream often about stepping into a patisserie on a cobblestone
street and leaving with a box of macarons tied with a bow to match the treats
inside. To be honest, my French dessert daydreams aren’t limited to macarons.

Travel writer Anne Banas must share this pastry filled dream with me. In a
review about the “most scrumptious pastry shops in Paris,” Banas explains her
double life as a writer and pastry student. What’s more, Banas takes a trip to
France and illustrates each pastry she finds in her favorite patisseries. Banas
eats all the pastries I dream about and gives special attention to some
macarons at a bakery called Laudree.
This special
review of all pastries French makes me drool. It combines travel and some of
the most delicious food in the world—and includes a photo of some beautiful
macarons to boot!
Pay
