[Paris pastry shop / 巴黎甜點店]Pierre Hermé Paris (中文請按「繼續閱讀」)

Among all the Parisian pastry shops, Pierre Hermé is not the one that I frequent most, but surely the one that always surprises me with pastrie made of creative yet delicate combinations of flavors and textures. I dropped by the Bonaparte boutique about two weeks ago just to get inspired and was very happy to find out that again, besides those classics that I always adore, he's got some news for all the pastry lovers.
Indecisive as always, I couldn't make up my mind till the last minute. I picked two croissant Ispahan (how can I ever miss this!?), an individual entremet Mahogany, and a choux Hommage. Yes, besides the only croissant in the world that I call divine, I was lucky enough to have been there when it is yet another Fetish season.
Fetish Hommage, Pierre Hermé's seasonal offering till 6th November this year is a tribute to his mentor Gaston Lenôtre. It features a classic combination of chestnut and pear that the young Hermé was lured into and still profoundly loves. Mont-Blanc, Carré, tart, choux, and pound cake...a series of Hermé's renditions of the gentle and fruity autumnal flavors.
原本只是想和大家分享最近在Pierre Hermé吃到令人驚艷的味覺組合,沒想到找照片、修圖,再加上確認產品資訊、文字等又是一大篇。
前兩個禮拜突然想起自己很久沒去拜訪大師的店,又看到Ispahan可頌已經上市的消息,所以某天傍晚臨時繞去Bonaparte店,結果發現店面外面也已經換上了本季限定「Hommage」*系列商品陳設。這是Pierre Hermé向他年輕時的導師Gaston Lenôtre(法國甜點大師,是世界上第一個開設連鎖店販賣高級甜點的人,也是知名甜點學校Lenôtre的創辦人)致敬,以糖漬栗子與西洋梨組合創造出一系列的甜點。
我一如往常難以抉擇,一直三心二意直到最後一分鐘,到了付款的時候才和店員確認要點的是兩個Ispahan可頌、一個 Mahogany蛋糕、以及一個Chou Hommage。Ispahan可頌從來沒有讓人失望,但是 Mahogany蛋糕完全刷新了我的味覺資料庫。 大家記得一一點照片進去看解說喔!
*hommage在法文中即是「致敬」之意(對應的英文單字為homage、tribute或respect)。
