Proceeds From Mon Paris Patisserie Macarons Go To Variety

TODAY Macaron Day Friday, March 20. These are uncertain times for everyone but charities are getting hit especially hard.  Elena Krasnova of Mon Paris Pâtisserie (4396 Beresford Street, Burnaby, B.C.) is determined to continue to support this meaningful annual charitable event despite having to pivot to her business to take-out and delivery overnight.

Elena Krasnova will be donating 50% of proceeds from Mon Paris Pâtisserie’s take-out macaron sales on Friday, March 20 to Variety, the children’s charity. Krasnova has also introduced a new spring inspired macaron, Sakura Strawberry with distinct flavours of cherry blossom and strawberry in honour of the day. Macarons are available for pre-order by phone (604 564 5665) and take-out  (curb-side pick-up available upon request); and delivery is available through Uber Eats only.

Founded in France by Pierre Hermé in 2005 as a way to raise money for charity, Macaron Day has caught on in cities all over the world. Visit Mon Paris Pâtisserieon Macaron Day in honour of this delicious Parisienne treat and in support of children and families who are in need. Guests are reminded to follow social distancing recommendations and remain one meter apart.

About Elena Krasnova: Born in Russia, Chef Elena moved to Vancouver in her early twenties where she attended university, collecting several degrees—including accounting— prior to pursuing a career in pastry. Realizing that number crunching wasn’t for her, she plunged into her true passion, moving to Paris to study at the famed Ferrandi l’Ecole de Gastronomie before working at France’s oldest and most storied patisserie, Dalloyau. Elena brought her international experience home to B.C. with the launch of Mon Paris Pâtisserie in January of 2017.
