Paris Baguette’s Mont Blanc Pastry
Incredibly rich with a piping of dense chestnut paste on top and stuffed with two little roasted chestnuts under the paste, these were divine. We both love just about anything and everything with chestnuts. Yes, the chestnut paste might be just a wee touch on the too dense and crumbly side of things. This renders them slightly unattractive. But, we still love these pastries. And, we’ll definitely be back for more.
Orange & Pistachio Croissant
“Pistachio, are you sure?”
“The labelled tray and receipt both said pistachio.”
Hmm, these were quite tasty. Both were filled with a slick, slippery almond and candied orange puree. This was definitely more of a thin puree of almond and candied orange peel than a rich marzipan paste. And, the texture was extremely reminiscent of bean paste. Still tasty? Yes, but, we’d say the fragrant orange dominates. Pistachio? We sure can’t taste it.
Tomorrow:
Gaulettes!
