The Sweet Life in Paris

“The Paris-based magazine L’Express has called this the “golden age of pâtisserie,” a claim underscored by the ever-growing number of pastry shops popping up all over the city. Whether veterans of a Michelin-starred kitchen or young mavericks striking out on their own, there is a new generation bringing to the art an unprecedented versatility. Along with imaginative riffs on individual tarts, cakes and macarons, pastry makers are offering their own take on everything from the humble madeleine to parfaits, cookies, marshmallows, pralines, chocolates, ice cream, viennoiseries (breakfast pastries), bread
and savoury pastries.”
