I’m so behind on blogging it’s completely sad.
I’ve been shooting a ton of pastries at Bottega Louie Restaurant & Gourmet Market this past week…and eating way more sugar than I normally do. I’m not huge on sweets but Bottega’s pastries are SO DELICIOUS! Stop by Bottega Louie in downtown LA and pick some up for yourself. They’re located at 700 South Grand Avenue. Here are just a few of my favorites (also featured on Bottega Louie’s blog here.) More pics to come. Thanks to Stephanie Castro and Rachel Pham for their excellent prop/food styling and overall assistance during the shoots. I couldn’t have done it without you two!
I’ll start with my favorite pastry. I believe these are called Sugar Knots. I could eat a pile of these for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Seriously.
Below: A pile of Apple Danishes and a fresh handful of Monkey Bread.
Your mouth watering yet? Mine is, just blogging these. Oh the memory of eating them is so vivid.
The Apple Danish is light & crispy with just enough apple filling so as not to overpower the whole thing.
The Monkey Bread is amazingly moist and melt-in-your-mouth.
I have such a weakness for croissants. These are crispy on the outside, moist & chewy on the inside.
They also sell Croissant Twists: long twists of salty-sweet, flaky goodness.
Hi Melinda,
Nice to meet you last Saturday. Your blog is nice. I like the pictures you’ve taken and posted.
