SWEETDELIGHTS
Heir to four generations of bakery and pastry-making tradition,
Pierre Hermé began his career at the age of 14 as an apprentice
to legendary Pâtissier Gaston Lenôtre. At 20, he became a
pastry chef and started his ascension to the summits of theart.
His creativity, technical mastery and interest in sharing his
expertise in Haute Pâtisserie have earned him the respect
and esteem of the entire profession. Famous in France, Japan
and the United States, the man that Vogue called “the Picasso
of Pastry” revolutionized pastry-making with regard to taste
and modernity. At Pierre Hermé Paris, decors are discreet,
techniques constantly revised. Sweets for adult palates, Pierre
Hermé’s creations are liberated from references to the past,
to childhood experiences and have made their entry into the
world of gastronomy. With “pleasure as his only guide”, Pierre
Hermé has invented his own world of tastes, sensations and
pleasures.
“I believe that chocolate bonbons should have an outer coating
that is neither too thin, nor too thick. The resulting texture
contrasts with the tender moistness of the ganache or the
crunch of the pralines. I enjoy a special relationship with
chocolate, a substance that is not easy to domesticate. It’s a
particularly complex, sensitive ingredient.”
-Pierre Hermé
