I'm serious - it shouldn't be allowed! How can we ever save for our next trip to France if people keep publishing "absolute must have" cook books. This weeks acquisition is Pierre Hermes latest book "Macarons". The recipes are arranged in sections such as - The Classics including the Inca Macaron - avocado & banana and the Americano - grapefruit, orange & Campari ( have to try that one!) Fetish Flavours, Signatures and Exceptions. This last heading features left of field flavour combinations like foie gras & chocolate, black truffle macaron and 25 year old balsamic macaron. Can't imagine what the balsamic one would taste like, so I guess we'll just have to make that as well. This is a must have book for professional pastry chefs, committed home cooks and macaron lovers as it offers a few extraordinary tips for creating macaron perfection every time.
Don't forget we still have a few random sizes of our Macaron Tees available for ladies and men. Email us for available sizes.
We'd like to say hi to a few new customers this week. A big congratulations to Joy & Wendy who have just taken over Cafe 22 in Proserpine, Ali & Soraya and Meredith & Ryan, both from Sydney. We'd love to see photos of your staff decked out in their KC uniforms so please send us in some piccies.
Just when you think you've seen the best of the best, along comes another fantastic French patisserie. Have you checked out the work of Sadaharu Aoki? This talented Pastry Chef trained in Japan before making his mark on the Paris food scene, opening his first shop in 1998. ( This one slipped past us somehow) He is known for his trademark of incorporating traditional Japanese flavours such as yuzu and matcha into classic French desserts.
Here's a few snaps of his fantastic food.
