Ladurée Paris: The Recipes Books

The story of iconic patisserie Ladurée first began in 1862 when Louis Ernest Ladurée opened a bakery in the heart of Paris at 16, rue Royale. Following a fire in 1872, his bijou bakery reopened as a pastry shop which sparked Ladurée's wife to suggest combining the patisserie with Parisian café service, thus creating one of Paris' first tearooms and a must-see attraction for any first time visitor to the City of Light.

Nestled within lovely presentation boxes reminiscent of the patisserie's exquisite macaron packaging, these luxurious volumes - Ladurée Sucré: The Recipes and Ladurée Savory: The Recipes - offer insight into 200 of the most famous Ladurée recipes, adapted for the home cook. In Sucré, Ladurée Pastry Chef Philippe Andrieu, reveals 100 decadent recipes. From Strawberry Cake with Rose Choux Pastry to Pistachio Financiers and the shop's world-famous macarons, step-by-step instructions and gorgeous photography bring each opulent creation to life. 

Continuing the tradition, Michel Lerouet, the Chef at Ladurée, shares 100 of the most famous Ladurée savory recipes from vegetable tagliatelles with Ladurée tea and cardamom to the taramasalata éclair with rose petals. Throughout the lavender colored, velveteen-covered volume, Chef Lerouet presents an entire artist's palette of appetizers, mains, fish, meat, salads and omelettes - all brimming with the Ladurée inimitable creativity. As Ladurée states, its ultimate objective is to create belles choses or beautiful things. Filled with bold color and inspiration, each of these beautiful cookbooks is sure to bring the magic of Ladurée home to your table.
