Laduree: Sucre: The Recipes

Andrieu Phillipe, 2012

From biscuits to cakes, and from tarts to pastries, the classics of the House of Laduree 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 Ladurees trademark pastel green... where the delicious combines with the exquisite for the delight of all gourmets. The wonderful story of Laduree began in 1862, when Louis Ernest Laduree 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 capitals 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 Ladurees wife, thought of combining distinct styles: the Parisian cafe 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 Laduree restaurant and tea salon on the Champs Elysees 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. Подробнее

Full Steam Ahead: A Golden Age of Cruises Step aboard the most beautiful cruise ships, from the 1930s to present day! Discover life aboard as well as numerous mythical ports of call, from the Caribbean to the Far East... It was in 1891 that Albert Balin, director of the Hamburg American Line, invented a travel concept that would soon enjoy world-wide success: the pleasure cruise... Largely democratized since the days of the first floating palaces of the 1930s, the cruise ship has become a veritable village resort, entirely conceived and designed for the pleasure of its passengers. The activities and festivities held aboard have become equally important as the excursions planned at port. Amply illustrated with archival and contemporary photos largely unpublished including archival documents, passenger travel diaries, and richly captioned brochures and posters, Full Steam Ahead takes the reader on a gloriously nostalgic journey aboard the first frail pleasure steamers to the largest cruise liners of all time visiting (or revisiting) numerous legendary ports of call along the way, divided geographically: the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, the Great North and Poles, Latin America, East and South Africa, as well as the Far East.

Macarons

Every season Laduree celebrates this little round delicacy crunchy on the outside and soft inside, a perfect balance of aromas and textures by creating new flavours. Each year the palette of flavours and colours grows, from the classic chocolate or raspberry to celebratory macarons; unique flavours inspired by exotic destinations, fashion designers, perfumes and so on. This book presents, for the first time, all of the eighty Laduree macarons, their flavours and inspirations and, of course, all of the recipes on how to make them at home including a practical, step-by-step section illustrating exactly how Ladurees chefs make the famous biscuits and the ganache fillings, so you can be assured of success.
