• A must-have book with scrumptious recipes from the world-famous Ladur?e tea shop.

• Reveals the secrets of their savoury recipes for the first time ever

The story of Ladur?e started in 1862 when Louis Ernest Ladur?e opened a bakery in the heart of Paris at 16, rue Royale. In 1872, following a fire, the little bakery became a pastry shop and the decoration was then done by Jules Cheret, a famous painter and poster-designer of the time. Jeanne Souchard, Ernest Ladur?e's wife, then had the idea of combining the Parisian caf? with a pastry-shop. She therefore created one of Paris' first tearooms.

In 1993 Ladur?e was bought by Francis and David Holder and became one of the best-known gourmet addresses in Paris, a veritable institution with its famous "macaron" as its emblem. In 1997 Ladur?e opened a tea-room/restaurant on the prestigious Champs-Elys?es, followed by another in the Printemps department store and on the Left Bank as well as the beginning of their international adventure with branches in London, Geneva, Monaco and Tokyo.

In this book Michel Lerouet, the Chef at Ladur?e, reveals 100 of the most famous Ladur?e recipes, adapted for the general public. From duck foie gras with rose macaroon to vegetable tagliatelles with Ladur?e tea and cardamom, as well as the taramasalata ?clair with rose petals, the Chef presents us with an entire artist's pallet of appetizers, main courses, fish, meat, salads, omelettes... All with the Ladur?e quality and creativity.
