Snapshots from Paris: Salads at Le Relais Gascon
It's essentially a salad in name only. There is a nice bed of greenery down there, dressed in a simple, creamy vinaigrette. But on top are potatoes sauteed in garlic and olive oil; and in the case of the Gascon, an incredibly generous cut of foie gras and tender petals of smoked magrets (duck breast). So that's: fatty duck, fried potatoes, and fattier duck. (And green stuff.)Tasting Tour: A Guide to Paris Baked Goods
Any food lover traveling to Paris could easily spend weeks, months, or years gobbling up all the serious eats the City of Lights has to offer. From the brasseries, boulangeries, the bistros, and beyond, it's almost too much to take in. So we decided to turn to our friend David Lebovitz to get a handle on a manageable bite of the France's capital city — its baked goods.Cakespy's 8 Favorite Savory Meals in Paris
What happens when Jessie Oleson, aka Cakespy, goes to Paris? She eats many butter-based pastries—in fact, she hit up at least one pâtisserie in each of the 20 arrondissements! But to prevent insanity, she had to squeeze in a few non-sweet bites too. Read about her savory escapades, from the best Croque Madame and Monsieurs to falafel on "Falafel Row" to burgers from a kosher deli, and great pizza from a cheap takewaway.'Pastry | Paris' Compares Pastries To Parisian Scenes and Elements
[Image: Susan Hochbaum] "In Paris, everything looks like desserts," says designer Susan Hochbaum in her film/slideshow Pastry/Paris, in which she compares French pastries to compatible scenes and elements around Paris, whether its in form, color, or both. Now when you walk around this city of endless patisseries (hopefully buying treats along the way), you might see an éclair in a Metro sign, a cannelé in a doorknob, or a slice of cake in a topiary garden.

The best lobster roll I've ever had. [Photographs: Kerry Saretsky] I’m a New Yorker, so I know that no matter where I am, if people are lining up to eat, it probably won’t be that long until I’m lining up to eat there, too. And so it was that while I was living in Paris this summer, I lined up to eat at Spring. Except, happily, all the waiting was done while I was asleep. Every Saturday, Daniel Rose turns, or I should say turned (I’ll explain later) his tiny Montmartre outpost, known for its never-the-same-twice menu, into a one-trick pony: lobster sandwiches, goose fat fries, and Champagne. Thanks to a very Paris-savvy friend and eating partner who informed...Favorite Places to Eat, Drink, and Shop in Paris

David Lebovitz takes a trip to Fouquet: What intrigued me most were watching the confectioners at work. I love candymaking and have a lot of respect for these folks who are keeping alive an art that's not widely practiced anymore. I mean, there's not many people making hand-crafted candy anymore. It's hard work, exacting, and the slightest change in weather or humidity can ruin hours of exacting work. Lebovitz's post is a beautiful photo essay on the process and definitely worth clicking through....The Latest in Pierre Herme's World of Macarons
I've never been a fan of wasabi—it gives me the sensation that my nasal passages are on fire—but if anyone could make it taste good, it'd be master French pastry chef, Pierre Hermé. Wasabi-flavored macarons are a part of his fall pastry line, found at his shops in Paris and Tokyo. He just opened a new shop last month in Paris at 4 rue Cambon, in case Parisians need another reason to get to Pierre Hermé (not that they should). Can't get to his shops in Paris or Japan? Maybe you can get some help from his recently released macaron recipe book, Macaron. It's available at amazon.fr for €28.41 ($39.22).
