Preparing for Passover: order from Payard Patisserie

Certainly there are lots of lovely Jewish treats and sweets to be had, but on Passover, with the restriction on leavening agents, desserts could face a leaden doom. And since the dietary restrictions during Passover actually excludes all grains like wheat, rye, barley, spelt, and even rice, you're looking at some very creative baking with matzoh.

Be not dismayed! Flourless cakes can taste good too! In fact, you can even relax (after you've rolled and shaped 200 matzoh balls, of course) if you order from Francois Payard's Patisserie in New York. Payard offers a selection of sweets that are kosher for Passover - Parisian macarons, Passover petit fours, chocolates, truffles, flourless cookies, and flourless lemon almond and chocolate almond cakes. If you're not in New York City, you can ever order and have them shipped (only the chocolates, truffles and cakes are available for shipping, though.)
