Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to the French Macaron–a small piece of heaven from the pastry gods. For those of you who don’t know what a macaron is, it is two brightly colored, meringue based cookies from a mixture of egg whites, almond flour, and sugar. Within these two cookies, you will find a jam or ganache filling. Yummy, right?

We all know and love the typical Mexican “street style” tacos we’re used to. This can include the ever-so-popular carne asada taco with onions, cilantro and salsa.Thanks to my boyfriend, Martin, a lifelong resident of East Los Angeles, I now know the difference between a good and bad taco. With the new trend of “fusion style” foods, street tacos have evolved over the past few years and are now being served on food trucks and in restaurants. Fusion is the combination of different food and cooking styles to create new tastes.
I’ll admit, I wasn’t too keen on trying tacos that didn’t have the traditional “street style” ingredients. When I did, I thought they were just okay. One weekend while in the Silverlake area in Los Angeles with some friends, we decided to stop by a gastropub off Sunset Blvd. called Diablo Taco.
