The movie was okay, but my favorite part was when Meryl Streep and Steve Martin share a romantic date after hours at her bakery, laughing and enjoying each others company as they make croissants. First of all, the scene was lovely, the setting, the music, etc. etc.But secondly, croissant-making is quite a cool process! I had no idea! Chocolate croissants (pain au chocolat) may be my all-time favorite pastry and watching the process unfold on the silver screen was enchanting. Makes me want to learn how to make croissants!

Happy Monday
oh gosh.. i loved her house soooo much in this film :)
i loved this movie!! i think meryl streep is AWESOME!!
I lOVE croissants, especially almond ones :) mmmmmmmmmm
My mom, who is really good in the kitchen, decided to make croissants once....after watching an episode of Julia Childs. I was pretty young, but I still remember it. It took like 2 days!!! But they were awesome. But that was the only time she made them.
No way! I read your title "Croissant Lesson" and thought instantly of It's Complicated, which I just saw for the first time on Saturday night! Totally my favourite part of the movie... I loved her bakery and that entire scene was just lovely, and mouth-watering!
Yes I've heard it's a very long process, but one I would love to learn too!
i loved that movie!! and the crossants!! man i didnt know so much work went into them!!
I still haven't gotten around to seeing this movie but it looks so cute! I love chocolate croissants too. I guess I'm going to have to learn to make them because my favorite little bakery down the street went out of business! My Friday morning tradition was always getting a choc croissant and a coffee before class. If you find a good recipe, please share!
I have yet to see this movie, but I do want to... although I was wondering if it would be a hit or miss in terms of how good it was. It looks funny, and I may just see it for the croissant scene now! :)
Making croissants is on my to-do list for this year - no joke! Lets do it sometime! Seriously!!
I haven't seen the film but that scene sounds super fun! I'm sure my mum once got croissant dough in a can, all you had to do was form them and bake them. Sounds like a crazy thing to get in a can now I think about it!
in the mood for a fun light hearted movie. thanks for the "lovely little" reminder. i'm so ready to watch this again!
p.s. when you have a little time...a dreamy read on "croissants", enjoy!

I just watched that last night -- it was a pretty cute little movie. I love-love-love chocolate croissants myself and am feeling quite inspired to try my hand at them...
my adorable mother confessed that the "pot smoking scene" was her favorite. ;)
Sincerely,
Claire.
This was by far my favorite scene ... I watched it over and over. And if you want a homemade chocolate croissant recipe head over to my blog ... they turned out magically. I was smitten by Meryl in this movie. xo
