Le Salon du Chocolat

For those of you lucky enough to be in Paris or about to head to Paris - or those who just love chocolate so much you are willing to jump on a plane at very short notice! - Le Salon du Chocolat in Paris is starting today.

It’s the worlds largest event dedicated to chocolate! It's being held at Porte de Versailles (in Paris - not the Versailles that's miles away!) and would be a chocolate lovers dream......

However, if the airfare or timing aren't quite right for you, then here is a recipe for Chocolate Macarons to try wherever you are in the world!  David Lebovitz (chef, author, blogger and expat-American-now-Parisian) has shared his trials and tribulations in creating the perfect chocolate macaron and the resulting perfected recipe as well!

To my American friends in particular, my thoughts are with everyone who endured the effects of Hurricane Sandy. And in the aftermath and clean up - take care and stay safe.
