Did you receive the newest Pierre Herme newsletter this week announcing his new Fall chocolate collection?
French macarons, original art, 5.5" x 7.5"This chocolate Pierre Herme tarte is from a collection 2 years ago and there was no cherry on top - that's my addition...
Herme has a new combination macaron-bonbon!(praline macaroons in chocolate, marzipan melting, coated in dark chocolate)
One chocolate macaron, original art, 5.5" x 7.5"
Herme also has a new book out full of chocolate recipes! Only in French so far but I bet the pictures are to die for...
The surprise chocolat is a standard I think...I hope..

Pierre Herme, in his student days studied with the famed chocolatier, Robert Linxe of La Maison du Chocolat, so his chocolates are superb.
His lovely chocolate map...
Herme maintains this small (not really that small) box of chocolates, always for 10 euros - a don't-miss! It must be for starving-dieting artists...
If you really want to go small there's this mini set of PH from a year ago or so... 
The "CARRéMENT CHOCOLAT" from a year ago - a square of perfect chocolateness if there is such a word - in the box...
Ready for painting...and eatingBONJOUR CHOCOLAT ENCORE!
More adorable watercolors! Thank you for sharing your art.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean you can "have your chocolate and paint it too"?
ReplyDeleteStef in Chicago, where, believe it not, we do have a few good chocolatiers.
