La Duree a Champs Elysee macarons need no introduction.  Famous French pastry Chef, Christophe Michalak, has perfected the secret to these delicious little wonders.  Paris being my hometown, there are things that I miss that I just cannot get here in the states.  For instance, powdered instant tomato vermicelli soup, french unpasteurized cheese fondue, and of course - the happiness inducing famous Parisian macaron.  Soooo, I was ever delighted when Christophe brought his secret treasures to San Francisco to share with us. 



These beautiful little gems taste like the colors of the rainbow.  My friend once said of the purple cassis macaron, "If I were to describe the color violet to a blind person, this is what I would tell him it tasted like..."


Paulette's macarons cheer me up on any given day.  I will squeel in delight when I see these colorful, coquettish, round little perfections of saccharin love.  I do not know how else to explain it other than that these macarons really make me HAPPY.
