Cute as a button

Oooh how I loove the Salt Lake City bakery Les Madeleines...


Why?  

The only bakery in SLC that makes authentic French macarons-- known in (dumbed down) English as "button cookies"...

In flavors of hazelnut, mango, strawberry, pistachio, green tea and even 'margarita'...


AND one of only 6 bakeries in the USA to make Kouing-aman... 
a sweet & salty, crunchy & gooey anomaly of a pastry that must be made with sea salt from its birthplace of Brittany, France.


Les Madeleines has not only provided me with loads of epicurean delight, but also shown me that Utah may be a more sophisticated place than previously thought...

this is why food has the ability to affect my life so deeply. hehe.

Oh the power of food. Not that I make it to Salt Lake very often, but I will have to check it out when I do.
