Vegan Pastry
- Since 1998, Pierre Herme has been revolutionizing the world of patisserie with his famous macarons, his 'Haute-Patisserie', notably the Ispahan or the tart Infiniment chocolat, sold in his boutique pastry shops all over the world.
Today, Herme offers a new story of gourmet patisserie created with vegetal products. What Pierre Herme loves most in his culinary world is finding new tastes, experimenting with new techniques and letting his imagination guide him to find the perfect balance between flavour and texture.
He makes a dazzling demonstration of this in his new book, dedicated to vegan pastries. Co-written with Chef Linda Vongdara, he invites us to follow him on the path to discover his greatest classics revisited in vegan versions and recipes specially created for this book: Ispahan croissant, shortbread biscuits, steamed chocolate fondant, blackcurrant puddings, chocolate millefeuille, chocolate cornflake macarons... Pierre Herme's work has made him a leading figure of French gastronomy.
As an inspired creator with a curiosity for everything, he has brought taste and modernity to pastry making, with pleasure as his only guide. He is known internationally and puts his technical knowledge, talent, and creativity at the service of every gourmet's pleasure. The first vegan pastry book written by the world-renowned pastry chef Pierre Herme.
In 2016, Pierre Herme was voted best pastry chef in the World by the Academy of the World's 50 Best Restaurants. The same year, Vanity Fair placed him in 4th place in the list of the 50 most influential French people in the World.
