As a home baker I would try almost any recipe except for croissants. The rolling of the dough, the butter, making the layers all by hand intimidates me. I learned recently about the love, time (3 days) and best ingredients that go into making a delicious croissant. In the meantime, move over almond, chocolate and plain and make way for this raspberry pistachio croissant from Cocorico Boulangerie in Boston. It is amazing, filled with  luxurious pistachio cream and a layer of raspberry jam. The pastry is topped with chopped pistachios. It was decadent. I thought I would only eat half since it was large. Little by little, bite by bite I was enjoying the combination of flavors and the texture of the croissant until there was nothing left. I can’t wait to go back.
