peeps! You know what a cookbook nut I am...

I have been salivating wanting the Ladurée dessert book forever. But, being German, I am cheap. And $40 is a bit steep. I finally bit the bullet, bought the book, it arrived today, and I unwrapped it. First of all. Stunning presentation. The box, the book wrapped in lilac tissue paper...And then the padded cover, the gold leafed edges--be still my heart. And then I opened it...

BUY THIS BOOK!!!!

a single thing out of it, but it will be SO fun to look through!

Thanks Richard!
