I immediately baked up a batch of the Multigrain Chocolate Chip Cookies and then made the Sesame-Miso Cookies…so good, too!! If you’ve been to MOKONUTS, you’ve had Moko Hirayama’s incredible cookies and know why people come from all over the world to have them.
A local market where we stopped at different stalls selling strawberries and sour cherries.
A known spice shop at the corner of the street with a friendly owner.
We tried the L’Incroyable meringues, which were utterly delicious! The area is up and coming.
A covered market where we stopped for cheese and coffee, filled with fish stalls and fromageries.
We stopped for some cheese just inside the front door of Marché Beauvau.
A place where locals have a break from the market for a morning glass of wine and nibbles.
The book includes a guide to the best shops in Paris to savor chocolate, highlighting the author's passion for the subject.
A tiny bar in Paris, created by Franck Audoux, called Cravan, is a jewel of a café and cocktail bar in a historic Art Nouveau building. They serve classic French cocktails with a twist, like the incredibly refreshing French 75 on a warm summer day.
Due to the heatwave, I pivoted to making chocolate frappés instead of chocolat chaud for my booksigning event. If you come, there will be icy-cold chocolate drinks available while supplies last!
Warm chocolate lava cakes with salted butter caramel. I got a bit overly ambitious with the caramel in this one.
Tried the shoyu ramen and loved it.
Tagliatelle with peas and pancetta, jambon…and a line up of wines that we drank.
Extra tasty falafel (so good, and crispy!).
Can’t decide on these glasses. I told the fellow at the shop that I looked like a dentist from the 1970s.
The user invited their friend Margot, who has great taste, to try the Warm Individual Chocolate Cake recipe. The review is pending based on Margot's honest take.
One of my favorite restaurants in Paris. The Chocolate Mole Brownies are perfectly spiced and the most popular dessert in the restaurant.
Had a rhubarb chausson aux pommes for breakfast, enjoyed it.
Loved the pickled strawberries from here.
Delightful (and delicious) springtime 'salad' of fresh peas, tomatoes and strawberries, and the main course was also stellar, as was the service.
The shop is essential for shopping in Paris, offering everything from fragrant vanilla beans to the best French chocolates at near wholesale prices. The owner, Benoît Bourloton, provides insights into the various chocolates and what makes them special.
The user brought a blue Staub x Smitten Kitchen Braiser for the cooking session, indicating a positive association with the brand and its products.
Picked up a chausson aux pommes for breakfast after I told him they were the best in the city. I dislike the word 'best' but they truly are the best in Paris, and perhaps in the world.
Pizza of the week: White asparagus and wild garlic - another 'best'.
Treated myself to a box of chocolate.
Moules for dinner but no frites because it’s asparagus season and that’s all I want to eat right now.
Enjoyed steak tartare and frites here.
After ~25 yrs in France, still amazed by the spectacular cheeses we can get.
This chocolate cake was incroyable.
Had dosa here.
Love the grilled brioche with spicy butter and sardines.
