If you only ever take one piece of advice from me, let it be this.
Go to Nadege Patisserie on Queen West at Trinity Bellwood. Try the little bite sized creme brulee flavoured nuggets of heavenly goodness. Enjoy the simple flavours in the first bite, take notice of the delicate textures, and then savour the surprising complexity that happens when the second wave of flavour hits your tongue as you reach the little golden brown bit at the bottom.
Then follow that up with a selection of the prettiest, most delicate, delicious macaroons that you have ever seen, smelled and tasted. And don’t shy away from trying one of the more exotic flavours. Had I followed my initial instinct, I would have left the Mojito-flavoured macaroon behind and missed out on one of the most incredible toothsome experiences of my 26 years as an avid foodie. I’m telling you, it tasted so much like a mojito (in the best way possible) that it hurt my head trying to figure out how they were able to pack all of those flavours into one pretty little mint green cookie.
If you ever show up at my door with a pretty package filled with goodies from Nadege, I will be your lifelong friend and we can go on dates to the most delightful little patisserie this town has ever seen and be happy forever and ever (or until we get a stomach ache).
