I am so excited!!! Fist of all, I did master one recipe written by him! Second, I did macarons! For the second time (we don’t want to speak about the first time, do we? Horrible horrible memories.. ), but they came quite right this time: I would like them more puffed, but I’m quite satisfied!

And now, him… There is a blogger madly in love with him (who isn’t???): she made wonderful cakes from very difficult recipes from one of the most difficult cookbook I’ve ever opened in my life (she made macarons too!)… There is another blogger that went to visit him so many times that the serveurs cried when she left Paris… There are crowds cueing in front of his pâtisseries… He has 5 shops in Japan and 3 in Paris… He’s one of the few great chef of all time that shares all (or at least most) of his secrets (and pâtissiers have so many secrets we can’t imagine…), not in one, but in many books…
Thank you, Pierre Hermé: to exist, to work, to share… Thank you so much…

The recipe I’ve followed can be found on Secrets Gourmands. Soon I will add it…

P.S. All this effort just to celebrate the first birthday of this blog…
