ladurée
およそ2年間、想い続けてきたラデュレのマカロン。心優しい友人のお陰で、とうとう我が家にやって来た。残念ながら賞味期限は過ぎていた様なので(もちろん全て食べた)ラデュレのマカロンの本当においしさは語れないけど、間に挟まっているコンフィチュールのおいしさは良くわかった。ピエール・エルメのような食べてビックリする組み合わせではなく、どれもシンプルでガツーンとくる感じ。特にFruite rougesとFramboiseは最高。ラデュレのもうひとつガツーンと来る点はパッケージのデザイン。ゼブラ柄とかチョウチョ柄、その他のラデュレの箱がかわいくて、ネット上で穴があくほど見てしまった。持ってないと思ってたワタシの乙女心が目覚めそう。
For the last couple of years I have been dreaming about macaroons from Ladurée Paris (there is a branch in London too), and I finally had a chance to try them the other days. I don't know how to thank our friends! Unfortunately macaroons don't last very long, and it seemed like we ate them after the best before date. So I still don't know the real Ladurée, but I enjoyed especially Fruite rouges and Framboise. They didn't surprise me, like Pierre Hermé does with his amazing combination of flavours, but they had very simple and good confiture. I also love the packaging. I'm not into girly stuff at all, but I kept looking at the zebra, the butterfly and the other boxes. They are so cute!

Jun-chan, ohisashuburi! Thought I'd have to drop a comment since it's the gorgeous macaron as a subject! Laduree & Pierre's macaron is truely beautiful... I understand your fascination from the bottom of my heart! I've made some for the market but it's never as volumptiously puffed up, beautifully coloured (it's so amazing how it could look apetizing despite that vivid color palette) & uniform in shape like theirs... Besides in the UK, not many people know macarons yet it seems - people ask wether it's a 'sandwiched biscuit'... Apparently Harrods Knightsbridge now have Laduree instore - must go!

Hi Tamami, when I was in London last September, I really wanted to go to Laduree at Harrods, but I didn't have enough time... Macaroon is quite big in Japan and I heard that the next Laduree shop will open in Tokyo, probably sometime next year! Pierre Herm? is still my favourite shop though. I want to try your macaroons too.
