Pierre Herme, Paris, 9/19/2013

Pierre Herme is one of the best pastry chefs in the entire world. Still. He is just the definition of PASTRY PERFECTION. While I was in Paris a couple years ago I was lucky enough to stage (intern at a restaurant) for a 2 and a half months. It was one of the best experiences of my life and just living and exploring a foreign country on my own was a real adventure.

If you ever get the oppurtunity to visit Paris, THIS IS THE GO TO PASTRY SHOP FOR EVERY SINGLE KIND OF PASTRY. He is very classic with his flavors and techniques but also goes above and beyond perfection with his consistency. VERY FAMOUS FOR PRALINE MILLEFIELLE (not pictured, but I've had it twice) which its SOOOOO YUMMY and so difficult to make completely perfect like he does....



FIG BRULEE TART. Perfect buttery tart shell crust with a fig brulee on top with cinnamon sticks that are not for eating. (I don't like inedible garnishes but it's ok if its Pierre)


Left: Vanilla tart on top of vanilla shell. One of the most simplest flavor profiles but done to perfection in texture and taste. ONE OF MY FAVORITE DESSERTS I HAVE EVER EATEN. Right: Coffee eclair which was also perfect. (Again with the inedible PH paper logos that I don't care much for but once again he can get away with it in my book)



Seasonal macarons. (Sorry I forgot the flavors) Best macarons you can get in the world I'm am pretty confident to say.



The beautiful park where we enjoyed our pastries.








I miss Paris a lot. I have so many memories and experiences that I will have forever. I will definitely be back for another visit in the future... possibly even to live there! France is the only country in the world that is self sustainable in food, they pretty much have the environment to raise and grow most animals, fruits, , grains and vegetables.

THANK YOU PIERRE HERME PLEASE COME TO LA.... it would probably kill me though I would be there everyday.
