The Sweet Life in Portugal on August 20
Friday, July 29, 2016My love affair was kindled in France.
I was walking around the streets of Paris when something shiny and colorful caught my attention at a shop window. When I realized what it was, I couldn't believe my eyes.
A box of perfectly shaped, smooth little mounds of brightly colored macarons with lustrous filling were calling out my name.
And I simply had to have one. Or two, and eventually an entire box of these flavors- from salted butter caramel, to raspberry, strawberry creme, coffee, pistachio... All I wanted was all of it.
What makes macarons so exceptional?
Clearly, not everyone can make French macarons.
It takes a lot of patience, perseverance and a dose of luck. You need follow the rules, but be a little playful as well.
I'm excited to partner with Nádia of Alma Rural - a local events company with a rural soul. Just like me, Nadia had to leave the madness of the city and her old life as a journalist in Lisbon. It was a decision to liberate herself, spend more time with her family and devote her energy to things that matter most- exploring creativity, reconnecting with people, and embracing what is natural and genuine.
Our chocolate menu will include truffles and orangette (candied orange in chocolate) to name a few. Behind this brand is another empowered woman who has made an interesting career change, Elisabete, who used to be a trained potter. She has traded clay for chocolate and now molds and mingles it with other exciting flavors to create something of a magical experience on your palate.
