Seattle Bon Vivant

Coming soon to a bookstore near you: Pim's book

Head's up! Pim Techamuanvivit of Chez Pim blog fame is coming out with a book. Soon.

The tittle is The Foodie Handbook: The (almost) Definitive Guide to Gastronomy. It's being published by Conran, (the same people behind Harumi Kurihara's beautiful cookbooks). 256 pages and should be out by early summer. And if you love food and restaurants and all things edible, fabulous and delicious you need to have it.

Seriously.

So you better sign up for a notification from Amazon so you can pre-order it as soon as possible. Don't say I did not tell you ahead of time. :)

Taste: The Canelé at Honoré Artisan Bakery

Yes, I'm still mourning the lovely canelés I was able to purchase from Essential Bakery in Wallingford. But not since my last trips to Paris and Japan do I recall finding a better, more authentic version stateside, of one of my favorite pastries ever. To find it in Ballard is a bit of a schlep but one worth driving for. 

Go to Honoré. Order a cup of you new best friend, Two Leaves and A Bud tea, a canelé or two. Repeat as often as necessary.

These are mouthfuls of awesome.
