La Tour d'Argent Madeleines
Acclaimed by Florence Fabricant of The New
York Times, these award-winning madeleines
have become a cornerstone of the Parisian
Restaurant La Tour d'Argent gourmet specialties.
Impressionist Montézin's painting
of the view from the restaurant over Notre-Dame
adorns the lid. Made of all natural ingredients,
they are perfect as an instant dessert with
sorbet and a palet of dark chocolate. Compatible
with sparking wines, Champagnes and all dessert
wines, the buttery smooth finish of the cake,
allows the full flavor of the grape to linger
in the mouth. The wonderful tin makes this
French tradition a versatile gift for anyone
who loves the great foods of France.

Angelina Rumpelmayer Chocolat en
Tasse
Named after his beloved daughter-in-law,
Antoine Rumpelayer opened the doors to his
first salon de thè on the Rue de Rivoli
in 1903. By conceiving a special drink for
children, as the judicious French never believed
tea was suitable for them, he began a tradition
and elevated it to an art form, with the
ritual of pudding-thick bittersweet chocolate
with rosettes of whipped cream, served in
white china cups. This powdered sachet of
Chocolat L'Africain is offered in only one
size:
Small 14 oz/400 grams $45
