LADUREE SUCRE THE RECIPES

Laduree was founded in 1862 when Louis Ernest Laduree opened a bakery in the heart of Paris at 16 rue Royale. In 1872. Jeanne Souchard, Ernest Laduree's wife, had the idea of combining the Parisian cafe with a pastry-shop, thereby creating one of Paris' first tea-rooms. In 1993 Laduree was bought by Francis and David Holder who were to make it one of the best-known gourmet addresses in Paris, a veritable institution with its famous "macaron" as its emblem. In 1997 Laduree opened a tea-room/restaurant on the prestigious Champs-Elysees, followed by another in the Printemps department store and on the Left Bank as well as the beginning of their international adventure. Now with branches in London, Geneva, Monaco and Tokyo Laduree Macarons are iconic, the best in the World. In this book Philippe Andrieu the Pastry Chef at Laduree, allows us 100 of the most famous Laduree recipes which he has adapted for the general public. From the famous Strawberry Cake with Rose Choux Pastry to Pistachio Financiers and the world-famous macarons in all their variety, this icon of French "art de vivre" is brought to life in a pallet of pastries the colour of light green, powder pink, bright purple, and lemon yellow. A gorgeous gift.
