I missed being more specific- I was referring to the extra 'o' in macaroon, since the pictures suggested they were raspberry and chocolate macarons. I know, I know- there's a whole ongoing debate about macarons and macaroons, and the previous lifetime-Frenchwoman in me threatens to Occupy Laduree Bakery, until they pass a law declaring it a crime to call a macaron, macaroon! :) Ok, histrionics aside, I've lurked around for some time on your blog, and would like to commend you on the excellent photographs and the visibly detailed research and planning you put into exploring each new place that you visit. Always an admirable trait in a, if I may be allowed to use that painfully abused word, "gourmand". :)Rupika Vnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340516.post-42719947653873819682011-11-28T14:42:36.281+05:302011-11-28T14:42:36.281+05:30@Rupika: Welcome to my blog!

Could I...Works of art, no less expected from Adria. Could I suggest a small edit- those look like macarons, beautiful ones too; would be a shame to call them flaky almond meringuey- cookies. Those currant profiteroles- make one cry out in delight, just on sight. Hope El Bulli finds a worthy, full-fledged dining successor...the world needs more of these. And now, back to my planning for a meal at The Fat Duck, personally overseen by Heston- doesn't hurt to dream, does it? ;)Rupika Vnoreply@blogger.com
