Eric Kayser - une tarte aux framboises

Eric Kayser's

raspberry tarte

Although it is not as healthy as a bowl of raspberries (perhaps), the delicious bed of custard and perfectly prepared pâte sablée makes it "almost healthy" and too divine to resist.

miam-miam

Une tarte aux figues

Fig Tart

This pâtisserie was filled with tarts 

and the most unusual and colorful was this one of figs.  

Combined with the violet blooms and a perfectly formed pastry, 

this confection looks like a work of art.

miam-miam!

Une tarte de baies

This tart full of berries just makes my mouth water.

Does that mean it is good for you?

(Tant pis... I had something much more sinful, abundant in chocolate)

Pâtisserie Hunt - Aoki

Each trip to Paris includes at least one "pâtisserie hunt" and our destination on this snowy day was Sadaharu Aoki. We wanted a single delicacy...

the tarte au caramel beurre salé. There was success in our purchase. We took it back to our apartment to devour in private, and it was out-of-this-world, melt in your mouth d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!

And because you can never leave a pâtisserie with only one item.... and who knows when you might ever get back... and we need to sample many macarons... (enough excuses?)


Two macarons, research of course... wasabi (!) and cassis
miam-miam!

Une tarte aux fruits

Does this just make your mouth water?

Oh, I just snapped a photo of this deliciously-adorned tart... but I ate the chocolate pâtisserie....

miam-miam
