Au revoir

Sad news from Conde Nast today.  Two of my favorite magazines, Gourmet and Cookie, are folding.  Interestingly, since I started this blog, I've been eyeing the September '08 issue of Gourmet that still sits on my shelf and thinking I should snap a photo of it to share with you because it is just so incredibly delicious. 

 

This issue will serve as one of my trusted food guides when we travel to Paris next fall.  And within its pages lives a challenge nearly as daunting as my novel: a Chocolate-Glazed Chocolate Tart recipe.  In Gourmet's singular words: "A triple layer of crumbly crust, a truffle-like interior, and an almost patent-leather-shiny glaze make this tart the chicest take on chocolate we've come across in a long time."

    When you're in Paris you should go to a place called "Café Charbon", in the 11th district. It's in the Ménilmontant neighborood, the place is just lovely and food is good too. There are many others of course but I have a soft spot for this one because of the location + the decoration and atmosphere.
