Ladurée: The Sweet Recipes (for Macarons)
The story of Ladurée started in 1862 when Louis Ernest Ladurée opened a bakery in the heart of Paris at 16, rue Royale. In 1997 Ladurée opened a tea-room/restaurant on the prestigious Champs-Elysées, followed by other Parisian addresses and international tea-rooms in London, Dublin, Geneva, Monaco, Tokyo, Milan and soon New York.
In this book Philippe Andrieu, the Pastry Chef at Ladurée, reveals 100 of the most famous Ladurée recipes, adapted for the general public. From the Strawberry Cake with Rose Choux Pastry to Pistachio Financiers and the world-famous macaroons in all their variety, this icon of French “art de vivre” is brought to life in a pallet of pastries the colour of powder pink, light green, bright purple, and lemon yellow.
One of Flax's proprietors challenged himself to make macarons during the pandemic. Success evaded him until he began using a recipe from Ladurée - and now he won't use any other. Two Ladurée books are available; the other covers the savory macaron recipes
