lovely tea towels

Who said that tea towels don’t need to be pretty? The kitchen is one of my favorite places at home, so it’s always good to keep it beautiful and full of little things that fill my heart with joy. Don’t you agree?

With this selection of tea towels, it’s impossible to have a bad day in the kitchen:

Paradis pâtisserie

Paradis Pâtisserie

Paradis is a yummy-pâtisserie, headed by pastry-chef Pierre Cornet Vernet in the heart of Copacabana. You have to stop by if you’re ever in Rio! The pâtisserie specializes in macarons – that small light biscuit made with ground almonds and filled with ganache or cream – and the store has more than 30 flavors available (try the red berries and lemon flavours!).

Paradis also has delicious truffles, made ​​with Valrhona french chocolate, produced with just cocoa butter, no hydrogenated fat and is used by the great chefs of Europe, such as Paul Bocuse and Alain Ducasse. Does anyone doubt that they’re oh so good? Another highlight is the macaron sandwich stuffed with ice cream – they’re like giant macaron popsicles. Beautiful!

Paradis Pâtisserie

I’m dying to visit Paradis again and try new flavors! Who’s going with me?
