Buy soma no prescription, Fresh from a New York holiday of gastronomical delights, I find myself in food heaven withdrawal. Buy soma no prescription, After a week of the best of everything, where striking two items off of  "Anthony's Bourdains Top Thirteen Things to Eat Before You Die" in a matter of one afternoon, buy soma no prescription, Buy soma no prescription, between bagel and lox at Russ and Daughter's and a pastrami sandwich at Katz's Deli was a breeze, it's not easy coming home, buy soma no prescription. Buy soma no prescription, With some remnants of culinary NYC delights that happily fit in a suitcase such as Jacques Torres hot chocolate, and the object of my chocolate obsession, buy soma no prescription, Buy soma no prescription, Michael Recchiuti delivered to our NYC hotel from San Francisco, the transition was made easier, buy soma no prescription. Buy soma no prescription, ( I couldn't resist taking advantage of the US only shipping opportunity to enjoy what I believe to be the BEST chocolate in the world. I do not make this statement lightly, buy soma no prescription. Between the rose caramel, fleur de sel caramel, varietals, fruit jellies, and the many other offerings in the burgundy box, I am so far ruined for all other chocolate, buy soma no prescription. Buy soma no prescription, Period.)

Now don't get me wrong, here in Edmonton we have some delightful culinary spots that I am fiercely loyal to (Tree Stone Bakery, buy soma no prescription, Buy soma no prescription, Cafe Leva, Culina, buy soma no prescription, Buy soma no prescription, Viphalay, The Red Ox Inn, buy soma no prescription, Buy soma no prescription, Acajutla to name a few), but we certainly have had some gaping holes and can't expect to find the same variety that a populated city like New York can offer (like a counter service shop that has dedicated itself to turning out perfect porchetta sandwiches, buy soma no prescription, Buy soma no prescription, cleverly called Porchetta). That is why I could not be more delighted to have intersected with friends on the same mission for sweets, buy soma no prescription, Buy soma no prescription, and to have enjoyed a chilly October Saturday afternoon right here at home in the newly opened Duchess Bake Shop on 124th Street in Edmonton.

After treats at NYC's Balthazar Bakery and the post-Paris constant craving for Pierre Hermé macarons, buy soma no prescription, Buy soma no prescription, I am in a constant state of lusting after proper French sugar delights, and I am rejoicing in the fact that they have finally arrived in grand form in Edmonton, buy soma no prescription. Buy soma no prescription, Duchess Bake Shop is a simple and elegantly decorated space with high gilded ceilings, a shabby chic chandelier, buy soma no prescription, Buy soma no prescription, clean white lines,  and a well appointed pastry case that highlights their beautifully executed creme tarts, buy soma no prescription, Buy soma no prescription, croissants (almond croissants and pain au chocolat which they were sadly sold out of....I will be back to sample the almond paste filled double baked almond croissants with a secret wish that they will be as delicious as their counterparts at Thomas Haas in Vancouver), duchess signature petit gateaus, buy soma no prescription, madeleines, florentines, and of course, macarons.

Buy soma no prescription, With anticipatory glee, we ordered a plate of macarons in all four of the remaining flavours of the day: chocolate, strawberry, pistachio, and lemon. With word that they had sold out of the lavender and salted caramel, and with a rose flavour in the works, I knew I would be back soon for more. For those who have not had the pleasure of enjoying a macaron before, do not confuse these with the sugary coconut and chocolate bonbon that we call a macaroon here in North America. Wikipedia describes the macaron as "dating back to the 18th century, macarons are a traditional French pastry, made of egg whites, almond powder, icing sugar,  and sugar. This sweet pastry came out of the French courts' baker's oven as round meringue-like domes with a flat base. Macarons are sandwich-like pastries made with two thin cookies and a cream or ganache between the cookies."

The crisp, chewy, soft goodness of these well executed macarons, combined with the excellent ganache fillings that are not too sweet, and are naturally flavoured, was just the post-holiday medicine this girl needed, buy soma no prescription. Add to that excellent cafe au laits and a nice selection of black teas, and Duchess Bake Shop gets two sugar coated thumbs up. Exquisite French Pastry Shop. Check. Now if only someone would open a good Jewish deli......
