Ladurée Macarons Are Going Vegan
The brand’s Beverly Hills outpost will be butter- and egg-free by the end of summer.
Five years ago, when Elisabeth Holder, co-president of French macaron shop Ladurée, asked her Parisian chef to put a kale salad on the menu, he told her it was “rabbit food.” She made him add it anyway, and the seasonal Soho Salad, which contained kale, chicken, cranberries, and pumpkin seeds, became a best-seller, even in Paris.
Now Holder and her brother, Chief Executive Officer David Holder, want to go a step farther to redefine a 150-year legacy laced in butter and eggs.
