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...
Awe some! Just in AWE! As in WOW!

OMG – my sugar daddy!! I want more!

Veron!!!!! You went to Chicago didn't you? I received the last minute invite to the reception but was too late to make travel plan. Can't wait for the full report!
Oh I'm looking forward to the photos and descriptions of this experience!
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.
SO, SO, SO, SO jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. My nose has been in his books lately. How very cool. I will be checking back for more on this one!
You are one lucky woman! Hurry up and post more.
While I had no idea what he looked like, I figured it out! Wow, amazing opportunity!
And that Macroon looks HUGE!
Wow–can't wait to hear the details!

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.
