Pierre Herme opens macaroon boutique in London!
Ok - I’m not sure who forgot to send me the press release that celebrated pastry guru Pierre Herme made his debut in Selfridges 3 weeks ago, but this is very important news.
His milk chocolate and passion fruit macaroon easily makes my Top 5 best sweets of all time. A truly great dessert is identified at first bite, when you suddenly realise something truly important was missing from your life but you never knew what it was.
Can one have too many macaroons in one day? I’m not sure that is possible. Earlier the same day I popped into Laduree (another French institution now available across the Channel) where I was treated to their pistachio and coffee macaroons. Typically I had “sweetly” complained about something or other and the manager swept these onto the table. An easy way to get a smile on my face
Top 5:
- Pierre Herme milk chocolate and passion fruit macaroons
- Poilane’s caramelised apple puff pastry tart,
- Crumble (rhubarb, apple, plums - any combo will do)
- Pacojet ice cream
- Homemade madeleines
