I was vacationing there last year for 4 days...and never made it through a quarter of the things I wanted to visit. I guess this is why people keep going back ;o)<br /><br />Your daughter's sweet tooth for caramel has pleased me enough to want to try it and compare the one recipe I've been counting on for years.

I attended Laduree's Macaron Making class when I was there in July, and salted caramel macarons were one of the ones we made. I have the entire lesson with all recipes posted in two posts on my site: one of the fillings and one of the shells - and then, Ta-da! I did it! After a year (or more) on a personal quest to conquer the elusive French Macaron, myself, I made the salted caramel macaron SUCCESSFULLY. I was so excited. I have a post on that, too. It is so exciting to have a child that loves to cook. That is what this is all about: creating traditions for future generations. My daughters are older, but, I would love to share in your daughter's quest, trials, and triumphs. This is a formidable task. I admire that!<br />:)<br />ValerieA Canadian Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02525802223846633115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841645566318950865.post-51724581265376886682010-12-15T14:42:24.364-05:002010-12-15T14:42:24.364-05:00Dee-Vine!!
