Blog Hiatus

The temperature guage on my car is telling me a scary thing - that the
days of wintery snow are likely over...

While today's temperature is a freak of nature perhaps (but a highly
positive obe for the Irish drunks that were sitting outside
celebrating St Pat's Day) it reminded me that I'd better get a leg up
and post some of the wonderful snow and icescapades that we've been up
to in the past few weeks....

Trouble is that our home Internet has been on the blink which is
making posting a little hard. Hope to get that sorted and update more
soon....I promise!

Ketchup macarons...?

Anyone who knows me, and knows anything about my love of Paris, knows of my love of macarons. 

My idea of the perfect Parisian afternoon was tea at Laduree with macarons, or the most heavenly raspberry mille feuille to be found on the planet. Bar none.

Recently I discovered the blog of an American pastry chef (ex Chez Panisse) living in Paris - David Lebovitz. When I landed on his page I was confronted with this image - quel horreur - is that a ketchup macaron!

This post is just that - about legendary Parisian pastry chef Pierre Herme's new book - Macaron - and this recipe. Foodies - check it out! - and bookmark David's blog. Nice stuff.
