Love at first bite

 

Looks like spring is finally here to stay and what better way to celebrate than an afternoon in Central Park with an armful of goodies from Bouchon Bakery.  Bouchon Bakery is the result of  French culinary genius, Thomas Keller's inspiration from the boulangeries of Paris.  I've always been a huge fan of the traditional macarons but today I tried the TKO (Thomas Keller Oreo) and it was love at first bite! 
Keller's reinterpretation of the oreo is made from delicately sweet chocolate sable dough and filled with a white chocolate ganache which tastes more of fluffy whipped cream than sugary vanilla frosting.  


To top it all off, I got my healthy dose of much needed vitamin D which will hopefully last me through the upcoming exam months.  


ps. How adorable is this little girl?  Her eyes are aimed right towards the TKOs.  Do I detect another aficionado of confectionaries in the making? :)


pps. Rumor has it that Bouchon Bakery opened it's newest location at Rockefeller Center.  More TKOs!  Hooray!
