They can be cheap (and will taste “cheap”) or can be expensive (and taste expensive), get one or two from places like Ladurée or Pierre Hermé, and eat them slowly, and get a box from other less expensive places. Me...

selection of macarons, I tried a bunch of places including Laduree, Lenotre, Pierre Herme, La Maison du Choclat, Dalloyau, and Jean Paul Hevin, and even places like Eric Kayser, Au Panetier, Toraya, and McDonalds(!) that...

I’ve been on a bit of a HC binge lately. Buying, trying and tasting as many as possible. I’ve even brought back HC from Pierre Herme in Paris, didn’t make my day. Dagoba as well was dissapointing. My fave so far...

their macarons. I think they have a much better balance than Pierre Herme, and though I have not yet done a side-by-side taste test between HC and Chez Cima (that will have to wait until the next time I’m in Tokyo), their...

Roger, Michel Chaudun, and Pierre Hermé, There are some nice photos included. She mentions a line snaking out of the door of Hervé. That was indeed the case this afternoon, despite the rain. Two favorites of mine not visited on...

Nice! I’ve wanted to make my own because I haven’t found any macaron in NYC that matches my beloved Pierre Herme in France. But I’ve been too chicken because I’ve heard it’s very temperamental. But...

My personal favourite is Pierre Herme. The long queue’s say it all! The best I’ve eaten! Last xmas I had the seasonal special “chocolate and foie gras” - amazing!

I have always liked the dessert called “Savarin”, i.e. Baba au Rhum baked in a ring mould. When I saw it recently in Pierre Hermé's “Chocolate Desserts” cook book, I decided to try it out as it seemed to...

. IMO, I haven’t found anything close to Laduree (even though I prefer the ones at Pierre Herme in Paris), and I lived in Paris for about a year.

wait on line at Pierre Herme on rue Bonaparte (#74?) near St. Sulpice for the best, most indulgent croissants, superbe brioche; sinful koignaman (sp? — folded, alscatian puff pastry with a light sugar glaze) and of course,...
