Taste the Rainbow
Paulette Macarons

Sweet, colorful and delicious: these are the words that want to tumble off the tongue after a taste of Paulette Macarons’ cookies. The small Beverly Hills shop, founded by Paulette Koumetz and pastry chef Christophe Michalak, recently began to ship gift boxes of their Parisian-inspired macaroons within the continental United States. Though macaroons are best the same day they're made, Paulette's overnight delivery keeps them as fresh as possible, making now the perfect time for people across the country to discover them. The patisserie dishes out an exciting variety of daily flavors, as well as a special which rotates monthly; culinary explorers can try everything from chocolate coconut to Sicilian pistachio, violet cassis to licorice. The macaroons are presented beautifully in their slender boxes, especially if one chooses a variety of kinds—and therefore, colors. For most Americans, whose only chance to “taste the rainbow” has come from Skittles, these macaroons are a convenient way to enjoy a cookie that's unusual to the U.S.

Price: $18 for a dozen; $35 for a two dozen
