Chic Aprons and Nougats Worthy of Your Taste Buds

Aprons from Jones of Boerum Hill that are more durable and chic than your average splatter guard and a San Francisco pâtisserie's tasty take on nougat

For many Americans, nougat is the commercial-grade, sticky-sweet layer inside a Snickers or Milky Way. But in Europe, the confection is an entirely different affair: a treat in itself, typically made with egg whites, nuts, and honey or sugar, available in varied colors and textures. San Francisco's Le Dix-Sept Pâtisserie has been sharing its elevated version with the Bay Area since launching last April and is now selling nationwide. Le Dix-Sept's chefs Michelle Hernandez and Cyril Bermond base their method on the traditional French technique, playing with cooking temperature to achieve a "pillowy" base. A classic white variety amped up with local honey (a wildflower or, on occasion, an orange-blossom varietal) includes almonds, cacao nibs and dried mango. A less-expected chocolate nougat comes studded with pumpkin seeds, hazelnuts and dried black mission figs. Read More >

But that will never happen because they might be the tastiest nougat I've ever had. The chocolate is layered up with black mission figs and pumpkin seeds, while the vanilla is dotted with almonds, mangoes, and cacao nibs. Both are have a dense, chewy marshmallow texture that's hard to stop eating. Read More >
