FETISH CÉLESTE by Pierre Hermé from March 12 to May 5, 2013
Céleste is a springtime stroll. An ode to strawberries. An intimate, tangy alliance, sublimated by a powerful hint of rhubarb, sun-drenched by passion fruit. How many new finery for this Fétish Céleste? Eleven. Exactly. Eleven ways to slip into and lose yourself in the voluptuousness of a tantalizing taste. At once tender and invigorating. Cake, tart, cheesecake, millefeuille, surprise, emotion, gourmandise, macaroon, ice-cream, jam, fruit paste… each in its own way expresses the joyous harmony of strawberry, rhubarb and passion in all its simplicity. A divine delicacy.
NEW 2013: CÉLESTE
Sablé breton, strawberry rhubarb confit, passion fruit mascarpone cream, strawberries, crunchy passion fruit meringue
The strawberry-rhubarb combination, reminiscent of his early years in the family pastry shop in Colmar, inspired Pierre Hermé to invite the sunny, fruity note of passion fruit to the party. A springtime outfit for a play of flavors and textures featuring the happy marriage of strawberry, rhubarb and passion fruit. On a crunchy bed of Breton shortbread, the tangy note of strawberry rhubarb compote is enlivened by the intense aromas of mascarpone cream and crunchy passion fruit meringue. A perfect balance of tastes, with each flavour revealing itself in succession, harmoniously and distinctly, as the tasting progresses. A lovely Spring cake.
CÉLESTE PIE
Shortcrust pastry, passion fruit crème brûlée,
rhubarb and strawberry compote, fresh strawberries
The taste of strawberries. A tangy note that Pierre Hermé emphasizes in this spring-like tart. While the sunny, fruity note of the passion fruit crème brûlée sublimates the freshness of the plain strawberries in the first few moments, the second radiance reveals all the acidity of the strawberry-rhubarb combination. The fruit in all its splendor.

CELESTIAL MILLEFEUILLE
Caramelized puff pastry, rhubarb and strawberry compote,
Passion fruit mascarpone cream
When Pierre Hermé reinterprets the traditional millefeuille with the flavors of Céleste, it’s almost tangy divine. In this cake, the sweetness of the ultra-crisp, perfectly caramelized puff pastry contrasts with the fragrance of the unctuous passion fruit mascarpone cream, sublimated by the sweet acidity of the strawberry rhubarb compote, leaving only the taste of the delicate, well-balanced, intensely fruity millefeuille on the palate. A tangy treat that pays homage to the three dazzling delights of strawberry, rhubarb and passion fruit.

CHEESE-CAKE CÉLESTE
Shortcrust pastry, soft passion fruit cheesecake,
rhubarb compote with strawberries and light cream cheese
Céleste is reinvented in the form of a cheesecake, with a new interplay of flavors between passion fruit and strawberry-rhubarb, enhanced by contrasting textures. On a shortcrust pastry base, the softness of the passion fruit cheesecake, the wetness of the cookie soaked in the same aroma, the acidity of the strawberry-rhubarb compote and the frothiness of the light cream cheese superimpose harmoniously but distinctly, to better reveal the fruity, sunny taste of the tropical fruit.

GOURMANDISE CÉLESTE
Choux pastry with roasted almond and granulated sugar, rhubarb confit,
strawberries, passion fruit mascarpone cream
At Pierre Hermé, chou rhymes with ultra gourmandise. Proof in image and taste that he provides with this revisited éclair, all roundness and balance of flavours. Crunchy on the outside, with its hat of almond and sugar flakes, the cake’s interior features the house’s signature flavours in superimposed layers.

PÂTE DE FRUITS CÉLESTE
Strawberry, Rhubarb & Passion Fruit
Gourmet par excellence, Pierre Hermé works with fruit paste in his own way. The pastry chef superimposes not one, but two layers of flavors to bring out the true goodness of the fruit. Is it passion fruit that basks in the strawberry-rhubarb blend, or the other way round? No matter. The balance is perfect. To bite into one is to experience a divine mouthful, soft and fruity.
