French pastry chef Pierre Hermé is set to release a cookbook filled with some of the recipes and pastries that have made his name a powerful brand around the world.
Pierre Hermé gives readers a hundred recipes that reinvent classic French cakes and desserts into innovative new flavor combinations, like croissants filled with rose-scented almond paste and a raspberry and lychee compote.
The Saint Honoré cake is reinvented with green tea, chestnuts and passionfruit, while a ‘foie gras’ crème brûlée is adorned with caramelized mango.
Forget yule logs shaped like fire wood and studded with holly berries. When master French pastry chefs make their bûches de Noël, they’re wrapped in gold leaf, shellacked in a glossy caramel veneer and covered in leopard print.
In a YouTube video created by food blog Paris by Mouth, a bevy of cakes made by masterful French pastry houses like Fauchon, La Maison du Chocolat and Pierre Hermé are featured to a surprising soundtrack of Salt-N-Pepa’s classic “Push It.”
If you are looking for an amazing indulgence this Christmas exclusive seasonal creations from renowned French Pâtissier Pierre Hermé might just fit the bill.
Pierre Herme re-enact the classic Buche de Noel into a modern hit of Chocolate biscuits layered with light dark chocolate ganache.
The logs come in a silver box specially designed by Louis-Marie de Castelbajac that unfolds into a poster of Dandy’s work.

The first theme for the glossy magazine’s debut edition is lipstick. “The lipstick is a commercial object yet full of symbols and symbolism”.
