Oh happy day, Ladurée is finally coming to the States!
A Parisian bakery and tea room famous for its macarons, Ladurée is easily the most beautiful eatery I have ever seen. Problem is, most of its locations are in Europe and I have been waiting for one to open a bit closer to home since the first day I saw it, four summers ago. Well the day is almost here, as Maison Ladurée will open a location on Madison Avenue in the Upper East Side later this summer! Oh what will I wear?!
A couple of weeks ago I tried to make my own version of their famous macarons. Needless to say, I failed. Note to self: Do not attempt to beat egg whites without an electric mixer…
