PARIS-BREST
I love the classics. This is a spectacular confection! Named for a bicycle race run between the two cities of Paris and Brest, this wheel-shaped pastry of choux paste is hands down impressive. The classic version is made with a praline-flavored center but this pastry cream version is just as tasty.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a small pan containing about 2-3 cups of hot water onto the bottom of your oven ( directly onto the bottom of the oven) to generate steam. Lightly grease a large baking sheet with shortening and then dust lightly with flour. Use a 10 inch pan as a template and draw a 10 inch circle onto the flour dusted sheet using a toothpick. Set aside.
- Place the 4 eggs into a small measuring cup and mix with a fork to combine, set aside.
- Combine the milk, water, salt and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. When it comes to a full boil, add the flour all at once and stir to make a paste. Continue to stir over the heat for about 40 seconds until the paste dries a little. Remove from heat and place paste into a mixing bowl. Let cool about 4 minutes.
- With a mixer on low, mix the paste and slowly add the beaten eggs. Mix slowly but thoroughly until all of the eggs have been added. Place the paste into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2 inch round decorating tip. Pipe the paste out onto the sheet pan following the 10 inch ring you outlined. Pipe a second ring around the inside next to this ring. Finally, pipe another ring on top of these two rings. Lightly paint the set of rings with the remaining 1 beaten egg and press the sliced almonds into the paste.
- Place in the oven on the lowest shelf and bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 20 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and bake about 12 minutes more or until brown. Remove form the oven and using a long serrated knife slice off the top half of the puffed ring. Remove any bits of raw dough on the inside of the ring. Replace the top and place back in the oven to crisp the dough, about 5 more minutes. Cool on a rack.
- To Make The Filling: Whip the pastry cream until smooth. Place the heavy cream into a bowl along with the vanilla and beat on high until soft peaks are formed. Add in the confectioners' sugar and beat a little more. Fold the pastry cream in with the whipped cream and transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the cream mixture into the ring and then replace the top. If you wish, sprinkle with additional powdered sugar.

10 BEST FOOD MARKETS IN PARIS FOR FRESH, LOCAL PRODUCE
From timeout.com
Estimated Reading Time 7 mins
- Marché des Enfants Rouges. Shopping. Markets and fairs. Le Marais. This historic market takes its name from the 16th-century orphanage that used to occupy the site; the red of the children’s clothes indicated they had been donated by Christian charities.
- Marché d’Aligre. Shopping. Vintage shops. 12e arrondissement. One of the oldest markets in Paris, the Marché d’Aligre survived the turbulence of 1789 and 1871, and continues to ply its second-hand clothes, bric-à-brac and cheap food as if the city around it hasn’t changed one bit.
- Marché International de Rungis. Shopping. Markets and fairs. Paris et sa banlieue. The Marché International de Rungis is the largest wholesale food market in the world.
- Rue Montorgueil. Shopping. Markets and fairs. Réaumur. Half market, half heavenly food shop strip, the pedestrianised Rue Montorgueil heaves with flower vendors, rôtisseries, alluring bakeries and fragrant cheese shops.
- Marché Dejean. Shopping. Markets and fairs. Barbès. In the Goutte d’Or area of the 18th arrondissement, the Marché Dejean is the place to go for tilapia and manioc, or just to get a flavour of the West African community in Paris.
- Marché Bastille. Shopping. Markets and fairs. Roquette. The Marché Bastille’s food stalls sprawl up the Boulevard Richard-Lenoir twice a week, with more produce than most hypermarkets – it’s a particularly great source of local cheeses, free range chicken and high-quality fish.
- Marché Président-Wilson. Things to do. Markets and fairs. Chaillot. Running the length of Avenue Président-Wilson, this open-air foodie paradise may well be the largest of its kind.
- Marché Monge. Shopping. Markets and fairs. 5e arrondissement. The leafy square and quiet fountain of Place Monge provide the setting for this charming if pricey food market, a calm alternative to the tourist bustle of the nearby Rue Mouffetard.
- Marché Saint-Martin. Shopping. Markets and fairs. Strasbourg-Saint-Denis. This covered market is small, modern, well thought-out – and in places rather eccentric.
- Marché Mouffetard. Shopping. Markets and fairs. Quartier latin. This ‘wonderful, narrow, crowded market street’, as Hemingway described it in ‘A Moveable Feast’, still sports bright and bustling stalls of fruit and veg in its cobbled lower stretches (its upper extremities largely harbour student bars and tourist shops) – its quaint buildings making it one of the city’s most atmospheric street markets.
THE TOP 10 FOODS YOU HAVE TO EAT IN PARIS
From sharedappetite.com
Estimated Reading Time 7 mins
- Caramels. Words do not describe how good the caramels are from Patrick Roger and Jacques Genin. Amazing in texture, rich in buttery flavor, these little treats will forever change your life.
- Bordier Butter. Really Chris, really? No, c’mon…. butter? That’s in your top ten?! I need to have butter in France?! Yes, you really, really do! Le Beurre Bordier will revolutionize your current standard of butter.
- Baguette, Pain au Chocolat, and Pastries. Since coming home from Paris, I’ve yet to have a baguette or pastry that comes even remotely close to the ones I enjoyed while in the City of Light.
- Chocolate. There is no shortage of great chocolate in Paris. You can read all about my chocolate experiences while in Paris here: The Best Paris Chocolatiers.
- Cheese from Laurent Dubois. You need to have cheese in Paris. More importantly, you need to have cheese from Laurent Dubois in Paris. As you can see on the awning, just like Patrick Roger and Franck Kestener, he is also a MOF (Meilleur Ouvrier de France) in his culinary field of cheese-aging.
- L’Avant Comptoir Wine Bar. Owned by Yves Camborde, L’Avant Comptoir serves up amazing natural wine and unbelievably good little plates (i.e. tapas / hors d’oeuvres) within a tiny, casual, standing-only bar.
- Macarons. Sometimes spelled macaroon in America, the French macaron is said to have been invented by Laduree in the early 20th Century. Although the macarons at Laduree are definitely delicious, I’m partial to the ones at Pierre Herme.
- Splurge Dinner. The food, the wine, the service, the ambience… enjoying a splurge dinner is an experience that you will not soon forget. Since it was our honeymoon, we actually did a splurge dinner almost every night (it was pretty darn awesome).
- Falafel @ L’as Du Fallafel. I know, crazy right?! Who would have thought Paris had an unbelievable falafel place! It’s not just good, it’s described by many, many people as the best falafel sandwiches in the world.
- Dessert. Paris is full of amazing desserts. Besides the already mentioned dessert-esque pastries I mentioned above, there are some other favorites I want to share with you

25 FOODS YOU HAVE TO TRY IN PARIS | WANDERLUST CREW
From wanderlustcrew.com
Reviews 4Published 2021-05-30Estimated Reading Time 7 mins
- Inhale Fresh Bread from the Boulangerie. There’s nothing better than crunching on a baguette fresh out of the oven! Wandering the streets of Paris with a baguette in hand is essential!
- Have Chocolate for Breakfast. Go ahead and give yourself a pass on this trip. Have that chocolate croissant for breakfast. Once you take your first bite, you won’t regret it!
- Try as Much Cheese as Physically Possible. The best part about eating cheese in Paris is how CHEAP it is! Most cheese is at least half the price of what you find in the United States, so eat it up!
- Eat a Hearty Meal of Steak and Frites. This is a French classic and most people are surprised to find that french fries really ARE French! This was the most shocking French food fact when I first came to Paris.
- Eat the Tastiest Cookies on Earth. Macarons are like eating cookies on a cloud while riding on a unicorn! These little morsels of goodness are made from sugar and almond flour and are gluten-free.
- Sip on Real Hot Chocolate. Be sure to try some “chocolat chaud” while in Paris. Thick, rich and creamy, it’s unlike anything you’ve had at home. Unlike American hot chocolate, which is usually made with a sugary powder, French hot chocolate is made with actual hard chocolate, melted with milk, and way less sweet!
- Indulge in Crepes: The tastiest street food ever! Crepes! My kids LIVE for crepes! The best part…you can find them on many street corners in Paris and they’re portable, so you can eat while you walk.
- Let the Créme Brûlée Melt in your Mouth! This French classic tastes even better as a dessert after dining in a Parisian restaurant. Delicious eggy custard with a crunchy brûlée (burnt) top is pure heaven in your mouth!
- Try an Eclair or two or three… I’ve never really been an eclair fan until I had these from L’éclaire de Genie. Ah-ma-zing! Mascarpone is my favorite, but we’ve tried almost all of them and they are to die for!
- Try the prettiest Gelato in town. A visit to Amorino for some fancy flower shaped gelato is a must in Paris. You can find these shops all over town. We even like to brave it on a cold day. #
INSIDER'S GUIDE TO FAMOUS FOOD IN PARIS: THE 7 FRENCH ...
From devourtours.com
- Croissants: Cheap, yet unforgettable. Start your day like a true Parisian and get yourself an all-butter croissant for breakfast! Croissants may look simple, but these perfectly flaky pastries require time (we’re talking several days!)
- Escargots: A national symbol. You just can’t leave Paris without trying them! Though we enjoy snails cooked in a variety of ways in Paris, the Burgundy recipe remains the most popular.
- Macarons. Not to be confused with macaroons (shredded coconut delicacies), macarons are possibly the best thing that ever happened to French sweets. Their delicate and airy shells are made of almond flour, and filled with a rich, luscious interior.
- Jambon-beurre: Paris street food at its best. Who knew sandwiches could taste so good? Simplicity is key for this beloved lunch snack. A great jambon-beurre is all about the quality of its only three ingredients: Parisian ham, butter and, of course, the deliciously crispy baguette that’s holding the magic together.
- Steak tartare. Eating raw meat may not be for everyone, but for daring foodies, the reward promises to be extremely flavorful! Steak tartare is a bistro classic that consists of raw ground beef seasoned with capers, onion and black pepper.
- Cheese. “How can you govern a country which has 246 varieties of cheese?” former French president Charles De Gaulle famously asked. We don’t have the answer, but we do know that visiting such a country is bound to be a treat!
- Onion soup. Another famous food in Paris, onion soup is about as comforting as it gets. According to legend, the recipe was invented by Louis XV nearly three centuries ago.
