There’s an outpost of Pierre Hermé (my favorite Parisian pâtissier/chocolatier) just a block from my apartment. Danger, Danger!
This afternoon I picked up one of his “Ispahan” cream puffs for my afternoon coffee – a baseball-size choux pastry into which some pieces of lychee fruit and a little lychee syrup were spooned, then topped with rose crème (as in the flower), encircled with perfect fresh raspberries and topped with a rose petal. Sweetness, acidity, intensity, unctuousness. Yup. I could learn to live like this. He also makes this flavor combination in a macaron and a cake. Heaven help us!
