I’ve been lucky enough to dine at Bouchon a number of times, but have never been to the very casual, take-away Beverly Hills bakery nook til today’s meetup with Ameena and Maya…
…have been waiting with anticipation to finally try one thing…
…the Kougin-Amann – described by my friend Nastassia as a cross between a croissant and palmier.
An oatmeal cookie sample was nibbled before heading outside…
…where we unwrapped the loot!
This baby did NOT disappoint – the pastry was buttery, flaky and laced with caramelized sugar.
I shared with the other 3…
…and also snagged a quarter of the chocolate tart.
As if that wasn’t sweet enough, Maya made me sugar cookies, with frosting, sprinkles, and M&M’s.
The butterfly was consumed.
Yum. She’s got a future in baking – watch out Thomas Keller!

Hi Lynn

So jealous you got to meet the infamous Maya

I want to try Bouchon Bakery so badly. The treats look more amazing than ever!
