What’s in a Paris Food Tour?
about 4 months ago - 13 comments
A lotta calories, that’s what. Along with stories, smiling producers, geeky facts, easy walking, more eating, more eating, more food.
Since last fall, Barbra Austin and I have been working with Context Travel to develop and lead food tours in the city’s most edible neighborhoods. Because the groups are small (never more than six mouths to feed)
Pink Flamingo

I’m a little in love with Jamie and Marie.
Since 2004, this Franco-American couple has been raising some of the coolest restaurants (and children) in Paris. Outposts of their Pink Flamingo pizza empire open unerringly in the neighborhoods that need them most – places filled with broke hipsters, post-punk parents, and picnic lovers of every stripe.

Easter in Paris

Children all over Paris are waking up this morning to discover a stash of chocolate eggs. The Easter Bell is back in town!
Because bunnies in France are for eating, the important task of holiday candy distribution falls instead to a bell. As far as I can work out, the local church bell stops tolling in

Tartes Kluger

I began to wonder, while sitting at the communal table and trying to fork the last stray strands of an arugula salad, could Tartes Kluger be the most bobo meal I’ve ever had? Before I continue, let me define that term. The word “bobo” – a contraction of bourgeois and bohemian - is one that

Millefeuille by Jacques Genin.
No octopus tentacles or forked tongues. :)

Yes, I can name this treat because of your lovely hint. Thank you. :)
A little research tells me that this is the le mille-feuille du dimanche from the Pâtisserie des Rêves (http://www.lapatisseriedesreves.com/) the same place where the brioche de rêves came from on the December 14 edition of Edible Advent. I visited the Budget Travel site as well as your site Paris Daily Porn to solve this one(http://parisdailyporn.wordpress.com/2009/12/15/brioche-des-reves/)!
It looks nummy.
Thanks for the reminder, too, that you had written up about the BB eclair on the Budget Travel site! That is, in fact, where I had *first* read about it and I remembered this when I clicked on the link you posted here to read the article again.
I am going to be one to still defend the treat, even though it was “dissed” by a few folks in comments. It’s kitsch! It’s fun! ‘Course this is coming from a girl who thought, before she became gluten intolerant, that Twinkies were pretty cool. Heh. So yeah, I probably would think that BB in all her glory is a fun thing. To each his or her own, eh? ;-) (The only thing I realized on the down-side was that when you wrote 6€ converts to $9, I gasped and thought, “OMG, that’s right!” I don’t know if I could justify paying that much for an eclair with or without BB on it, lol. That’s kinda….. just *wrong* on some level. Ahhh. The French decadence of the 18th century lives on…)
Sorry too “blomment” (blog in your comments) but I have been having fun with this this morning as it gently snows once again in Paris. I got wordy as a result. ;-)

Heavenly – vanilla millefeuille from Jacques Génin.

A contemporary version of a millefeuille, and I’m sure I’ve seen it before, but where? Ble Sucre, maybe?

Hey there,
I ran into your friend Sophie at l’avant comptoir. We were both scarfing down the atmosphere and food.
When all of this holiday madness has subsided, we should plan a croquettas outing together.
For today’s advent, I’m going with a millefeuille with vanilla-specked cream from Jacques Genin.
Hope you’re doing fabulously well.
Bises,

Darnit! Missed the place! It looks *just* like the picture at the Pâtisserie des Rêves website. http://www.lapatisseriedesreves.com/
Ah well, they ALL look delish! ;-)
