C'EST BON: MACARON EDITION

I'm one of those people who has to photograph their food before they even prepare to eat it. I can't help it! When something is plopped in front of my face and it's immaculate, I can't help but reach for something to cement it. I sometimes wondered where I'd put all these photos and now they will fit nicely in C'est Bon!



Oh la la, beginning with the most feminine beauty of all desserts. This was brought to me by a very charming French waiter at the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild on Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. If coffee served in pink monogrammed porcelain wasn't enough...



...out came the pistacchio and raspberry macarons.



This one came from a Chicago Patisserie on New Year's Eve.



Then there was this florescent bunch at an open air market in Nice, France.



My most gluttonous moment came from a "dessert buffet" at my hotel's restaurant in Monaco. Why try one when you can try five?



The first mac I had was from Thomas Keller's Bouchon some years ago. What an introduction! Twice the size of a regular macaron.

We end with the "macaron tower"  - a gravitational feat.
