Synopsis

From biscuits to cakes, and from tarts to pastries, the classics of the House of Ladurée are unveiled in this beautifully photographed collection of recipes. Even the world-famous macaroon reveals its secrets! Within these pages, you will find a tantalising array of refined flavours and enchanting colours: powder pink, vibrant lilac and Laduree’s trademark pastel green ... where the delicious combines with the exquisite for the delight of all gourmets. The wonderful story of Ladurée began in 1862, when Louis Ernest Ladurée opened a bakery in the very heart of Paris at 16, rue Royale. During this era, the neighborhood surrounding the Madeleine was rapidly developing into one of the capital’s most important and elegant business districts. The most prestigious artisans in French luxury goods had already taken up residence there. At the beginning of the 20th century, Jeanne Souchard, Ernest Ladurée’s wife, thought of combining distinct styles: the Parisian café and pastry shop. With this, one of the very first Parisian tea salons was born. It was in 1993 that this “sleeping beauty” with still untapped potential was taken over by David Holder and his father Francis Holder. With the opening of the Ladurée restaurant and tea salon on the Champs Élysées in 1997, decorated by Jacques Garcia, this true institution became one of the top addresses for Parisian gourmandises. Boutiques in Printemps’ Grand Magasin and on Paris’ left bank followed, as did the beginning of the international adventure with openings in London, Geneva and Tokyo.

Présentation de l'éditeur

100 Recipes from the Pastry Chef at the prestigious Ladurée, renowned among gourmets from the world over. This book is a precious object, designed to look and feel like one of their “cult” boxes of macarons, famous for their pastel colours and sophistication. The story of Ladurée started in 1862 when Louis Ernest Ladurée opened a bakery in the heart of Paris at 16, rue Royale. In 1872, following a fire, the little bakery became a pastry shop and the decoration was then done by Jules Cheret, a famous painter and poster-designer of the time. Jeanne Souchard, Ernest Ladurée’s wife, then had the idea of combining the Parisian café with a pastry-shope. She therefore created one of Paris’ first tea-rooms. In 1993 Ladurée is bought by Francis and David Holder and becomes one of the best-known gourmet addresses in Paris, a veritable institution with its famous “macaron” as its emblem. In 1997 Ladurée opens a tea-room/restaurant on the prestigious Champs-Elysées, followed by another in the Printemps department store and on the Left Bank as well as the beginning of their international adventure with branches in London, Geneva, Monaco and Tokyo. In this book Philippe Andrieu, the Pastry Chef at Ladurée, reveals 100 of the most famous Ladurée recipes, adapted for the general public. From the Strawberry Cake with Rose Choux Pastry to Pistachio Financiers and the world-famous macarons in all their variety, this icon of French “art de vivre” is brought to life in a pallet of pastries the colour of powder pink, light green, bright purple, and lemon yellow.
