Incredible Foods
I've always thought that British cheese is underrated in France in the same way that Canada is underrated in the United States: few people give much thought to its existence.
The beet has shed its humble reputation in France to become the darling of Paris chefs.
When you happen to be one of the finest chocolatiers in France, the temptation to nibble is great.
Tokyo-trained Sadaharu Aoki makes a vanilla millefeuille that's as good as this classic pastry gets. But what sets him apart is his green tea, black sesame and red bean variations on French cakes.
Paris highlight
"Dear Rosa:
We followed your itinerary for our Paris visit during the first week of September and had a wonderful experience. Every place you suggested was terrific, and our lunch at Chez la Vieille was superb. We would never have found the place ourselves, and the cozy atmosphere and delicious rabbit was everything we hoped for. We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary with this trip, and while the entire trip was wonderful our two highlights were dinner at Taillevent and your "food day". Thank you again for your assistance."
