Can you believe it; my parents have never tried a French macaron before. I am heading up to New Hampshire this weekend to celebrate my dad’s 65th birthday (with a birthday cake from Ron of course!) and I thought what a perfect opportunity to go over to our chef friend’s bakery, FPB. That’s the Francois Payard Bakery of course, they are neighbors with us here in Soho. If I am going to bring home French macarons, I am going to bring home the best.
I grabbed our pastry chef Robin and we had our own little field trip to FPB Bakery in Soho. His new location on South Houston is a gem. Very friendly and always smells delicious. It’s a fun spot for a light lunch and a must if you have a sweet tooth. He was very generous and had us bring back an array of yummy treats for the staff at the bakery. (Which they happily devoured!)
On a cake note, we also did François’s wedding cake…
