On May 30 David Boetti and Yann Fougere, owners of Bon Macaron, hosted a group of DRA members to a really fun introduction to a world of new tastes. They were excellent hosts and taught us an amazing amount about macarons, a French meringue delicacy made with almonds and the freshest of ingredients.
The challenge for us was making a choice between of all the different savoury and sweet flavours. In the end, we each chose one from each category and finished with a Chocolate Mint macaron made with mint from Happy Valley Lavender & Herb Farm – new to the menu. Some of the other flavours we tried include: White Chocolate & Wasabi, Salted Caramel, Goat Cheese & Fig. There is something for everyone.
Congratulations to DRA member JC Scott, who won a $25 gift certificate and who promptly cashed in on macarons!
Not only are the macarons uniquely delicious, gluten free, and made fresh every day, the shop has been very tastefully renovated and decorated.
Check them out on Broad St across from Pag’s. http://www.bonmacaronpatisserie.com/
