Fantastic Provence with L'Occitane
Presents Rencontre avec Philippe Segond Meilleur ouvrier de France Pastry chef at Pātisserie Riederer in Aix en Provence
Pātisserie Riederer was founded in Aix in 1780
My grandfather was a candy maker, a confectioner
whereas my uncle and myself are pastry chefs and confectioners.
Pātisserie is a subtle art, it's like architecture
it's like architecture.
We associate different textures and flavours to create a cake
The Christmas būche by Philippe Segond
Making a mousse with the worderful Criollo chocolate
The magic of this cake
is the contrast of textures
and the cripsy praline
This might sound a little bit pretentious,
but Van Gogh was searching for the perfect light
and found it at the end of his life.
I know exactly what I'm looking for when a create a pastry:
I have the flavour in my head
and need to make it happen!
I always know what the cake i'm making will taste like...
