Tonight 'Kings of Pastry' will be playing on PBS.
To get in the right frame of mind immerse in the amazing tartes of Patisserie Pain de Sucre.
Last trip I only peered in the window. I didn't go inside.
Admittedly I was munching on a tarte citron from Cupcakes Berko across the street.
An act of betrayal and regret I relive daily since.
Pastry chefs Didier Mathray and Nathalie create shapes, flavors, colors and textures unique among Paris' patisseries.
I can't wait to go back and taste these.
Or at least taste the mini versions - 'tentation'/temptation, the perfect name for this tarte framboise.
"Castanea'- Sablé à la farine de chataigne, pulpe de pomme légèrement caramélisée,praliné croustillant, crémeux au marron, biscuit tendre à la châtaigne, mousse à la pulpe de châtaigne, glacage à la noisette.
Pure poetry no?
What looks like a mini version of the Castanea is really a nounours - chocolate-covered marshmallow on a stick.
I have tasted many of Pain de Sucre's caramel macarons.
Do have the right snacks while you watch Tonight's Kings of Pastry.

ReplyDeleteIt's not on here in DC tonight. For those who have Netflix, it's on instant streaming(as I see someone stated above:)
ReplyDeleteWow, those pastries look so delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads-up on the show.
And I thought I was the only one who repeatedly watches this on Netflix! LOL! They are so serious and it is so intense. It is a must see if you are serious about pastry. Merci Carol.
ReplyDeleteDARN! 'Fraid I won't be watching 'cause I must focus on getting ready to drive to Maine tomorrow, to go painting.
ReplyDeleteENJOY!
Love that documentary! I'm always on the edge of my seat!
ReplyDeleteSounds fun, but I can't watch that temptation when I'm being so good, woman! You'll just have to tell me about it all here. So many sweets!
ReplyDeleteIt is gripping tales...
ReplyDeleteI love the serious aspect too Theresa for quite disposable frivolous objects.

And there we go: I missed it!
ReplyDeleteWell, not that I would have had a chance to see it here. I shall have to get the DVD. Amazon, here I come! ;-)
That caramel macaron looks tempting. Is is it salted caramel? I would give it a try anyway!
Happy First Day of Summer,
M.
Damn! Speaking of acts of pain and regret - Why didn't I get around to your blog in time to catch the show???? I will try to find a repeat!
ReplyDeleteLoved it! Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteWatching Kings of Pastry made me want to dive into a vat of chocolate and cover myself with pistachio something or other.
