Description :

François Perret, pastry chef at the Ritz Paris, invites you to discover the highlights of a gourmet day in the most famous places of the famous Parisian palace.

Ritz and pastry, two words that go so well together, two worlds that irresistibly evoke the time of a madeleine, the bel canto of a Belle-Hélène pear. In five chapters and 60 recipes, François Perret, one of the most gifted and creative pastry chefs on the contemporary sweet scene, invites us on a gourmet stroll through the hours and places that punctuate the life of the legendary Place Vendôme hotel. From the first happinesses of the day to the grand soir desserts of the Espadon, through the rediscovered cookie of a tea in the Proust salon and a thousand and one treats around the clock, he shares with us the secrets and know-how of a pastry shop with a soul as light as it is generous. With poetry, he evokes his memories, his emotions and tells the story of the birth of his creations. Travel cakes, sweet sugar tarts, childhood tasting trays, garden desserts, honey madeleines, voluptuous meringues… He awakens in us the pastry chef who sleeps, the desire of greed. And his starred desserts, triptychs based on the same ingredient – Strawberry, Honey, Jamaya Chocolate, Quince – take us on a journey of initiation into the land of flavors and colors. Finally, the ultimate reward, François Perret reveals his favorite cake: his cake, which has become iconic… A delight to share!
