Le Jour du Macaron!

It was Macaron Day yesterday and as you can imagine, Paris was full of love during this macaron fest.  For 7 years now the arrival of spring is celebrated by the Macaron Day.  A day of delightful French macarons on every table in cafes, homes, picnics and walks around the City of Love including the world.

To this day of celebration, shops like Pierre Hermé Paris and confectioners Relais Desserts, offer a tasting of macarons and invite customers to donate for a noble cause.  This year's Macaron Day takes action in aid of autism, recognized 'Great National Cause' and supports the association Autistic Without Borders in Paris.

Original flavors and a home full of good humor awaited all participating outlets.  An additional reason for all gourmets to succumb to the temptation of the delightful macaron.

You can also find the same in New York: since 2010, François Payard, chef of François Chocolate Bar and François Payard Bakery in New York, organized the first annual Macaron Day in NYC. Macaron Day NYC is inspired by and coincides annually with the Jour du Macaron in Paris, created by la Maison Pierre Hermé Paris in association with the Relais Desserts.  We hope you had a fabulous Macaron Day yourself, if not, it's never too late to celebrate today!

Food & dining: France in Melba

There are many dishes that are considered part of the nation's national cuisine today.  A meal often consists of three courses, hors d'œuvre or entrée (introductory course, sometimes soup), plat principal (main course), fromage (cheese course) or/and dessert, sometimes with a salad offered before the cheese or dessert.  French regional cuisine is characterized by its extreme diversity and style. Traditionally, each region of France has its own distinctive cuisine.

In Melbourne alone, there are several French restaurants that are exquisite and serve signature French dishes that takes you away.  Some has also incorporated clean, modern touches which would remind you of Heston Blumenthal's brilliant methods in cooking.

On this topic, besides other French restaurants we have visited in Melbourne, we love Embrasse Restaurant Nicolas Poelaert's approach to the presentation of food.  Awarded as FoodService Australia Chef of the Year 2011 and many other awards and outstanding reviews  such as The Age Good Food Guide 2010, 2011 and 2012; this is one restaurant you have to dine in.  

View the video above of Nicolas Poelaert and other talented chefs about elevating food to the realm of art.
