Colette's Table
View Products

Among her personal collections and red walls of her Parisian flat in the Palais Royal, Colette surrounded herself with chocolates, bowls of fruit, fresh flowers and special touches which appealed to her sensual nature.

"To sing to spring when it has already arrived would never do for me; I must go to meet it when it first strikes out through the long shadows, feeling its way, venturing into tufts under the arms of the elders, into green ears along the honeysuckle…Word of it first comes to me from the provinces it most favors: Brittany has its daphnes, Auray is gathering its violets…."

Flowers and Fruits,
Colette

Faience Tulip Dessert Set reproduced from 18^th century pieces in Musee Des Arts Decoratifs, Paris .

Recipes for candied or crystallized fruits, nuts and flowers appear as early as the 16^th century.

"There is no sort of fruit, no flower and no plant, no matter how delicious it may be in nature, to which candying cannot lend a flavor more seductive and agreeable."

A sweet touch for your dessert plate or cup of tea!

If you haven't tasted these floral confections before,
