If you're not a subscriber to our weekly Café Bites dining newsletter for Broward and Palm Beach counties, here's a taste of what you missed this week. Click here to subscribe.
Local, artisanal, gorgeous, and damned tasty too. What's not to like about the holiday cookie assortment from Lake Worth's cozy little bakery/café, La Bonne Bouche?
For your favorite sweet tooth or to give yourself a shot of Christmas spirit, check out master patissier Eric Regnier's ode to the holidays, a box of a dozen painstakingly hand-decorated butter cookies. The one- and two-bite morsels come as gaily bedecked Christmas trees, prettily wrapped gifts, crystalline blue and white snowflakes, and more, each one a bit of edible netsuke.
They're not cheap -- $18 per dozen -- but artisanal products rarely are. And if
you've ever tasted the delicate, flaky croissants that bring even the
swells from Palm Beach to funky downtown Lake Worth... well, 'nuff
said.
