Today is National Croissant Day. During my time at culinary school in Paris, every day began with flaky, buttery croissants. We tried virtually every bakery in the city and never came upon a dud. Thank goodness Paris is a walking city. Recently New Orleans has become associated with chocolate, although there is a longer association with another foodstuff and a one of our city’s other monikers - The “Croissant” (Crescent) City. Hmmmm… chocolate croissants are lovely too.
