It was a rare opportunity that I was able to spend two full days with the most brilliant pastry chef of my lifetime…
Recognize him from his profile ?
….
No? How about this front view shot?
Still do not recognize him? The clue is in the initials of his chef's jacket or his most famous creation shown below :
More later… I just got back and there is a ton of pictures to sift through. And as usual when I go on this "business" trips I end up in a sugar coma…

You know I want the full lowdown…and I'll keep my mouth shut…promise!! I am so glad you got to spend a couple of days in the kitchen with him
You're a rock star!!
Well wow! I even know who that is and I'm not a pastry maker at all.
To this day I hardly believe I was in his store in Paris and tasted his amazing creations, Veron.
What a wonderful day you had, sweetie!
Oh goodness, he certainly is the Master! I can't wait to see the rest of your pictures!!
If that's who I think it is, I was picturing him to be much older (I've never seen pictures of PH). I was waaaaay off in what I thought he looked like.
Oh, wow! That's too cool! You are so lucky.

Wow Veronica, you're very fast in posting! I just posted a little bit about the class in my blog last night. It was nice to finally meet you in person after following your blog all this time, what a nice surprise. I'm glad to be able to experience this once in a lifetime opportunity together with you. Keep in touch and hope to see you again…
No way! Any sucre cuit tips?
By coincidence I made a large batch of rose macarons last night.
Thick shell and stupid feet. Too sweet even with raspberries…into the can they went.
He sure is a good looking man. Can’t wait to hear more.
