Notes
Mignardises date back to 18th century France, when pastry chefs baked small treats at the end of the day in the low residual heat of their ovens. The name comes from an old French word meaning `cute', `pretty' `graceful'. They are served at the end of the meal to extend the pleasure of the evening.
