Where to Find Macarons
Robyn,
You are a god-send!!!! I just came back from Paris last month and ate my last Macaron I bought at Laduree (by suggestion of Jacques Torres at the November chocolate show) and went online to see if Laduree has mail order to the US, which they do not! I panicked, but then thought, I live in NY, I can get anything here, so, I searched and searched and came across this article. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! French Macarons are the most sublime and addicting things I have ever had!!!!!
Where to Find Macarons
A friend of mine recommended to me that I go to Pierre Herme when I was in Paris last fall and I didn't make it. Then I came home and got all obsessed with Macarons, which is strange since I have only ever had the original French kind from the Atlanta bakery Henri's.
I scoured the internets for recipes and information and finally gave it a shot on my own. Not bad for a first timer I'd say. I'm going to try it again, this time doing pistachio and sea salt/caramel for Christmas gifts.
Here's the link to a post I did about making them:

@astarteny: Those macarons look good. Want.
I'd also be interested in making green tea maccies.
@maggiesara: I haven't tried his, but your experience sounds similar to what my other friends said about him. :( Sad!
@JadedOne: You WILL make it.
...You will.
Go to PH first and then check out the other places. I regret not trying Sadaharu Aoki's macarons, although I did try some of his cakes. Mm, soo gooooood.
@kaethend: Starting with the ispahan is intense, man. It all goes downhill from there...
Okay, not really.
Thanks for the rec, I'll add it to the list!
What's your Favorite Food Movie?
All great movies ... but my all-time fav food film was a TV ad for Polly-O cheese. It was just two hands seen from above, making manicotti. It was a fabulous film of an expert chef making pasta and then ended with them brushing the flour off of their hands. Short but memorable. Wish I could find a copy of it.
What's your Favorite Food Movie?
Danica--the ultimate scene in dining etiquette, in my opinion, is Leslie Caron learning how to eat an ortolan in "Gigi."
What's your Favorite Food Movie?
Someone has already mentioned it, but the German film mostly Martha is sooo wonderful! I love the beginning of the film, when she is describing how it isn't complicated dishes that are difficult to make, but simple ones. How poached salmon with Basil sauce is almost impossible - there is nothing to hide behind. I don't even like cooked salmon and I wanted to eat it!
