Kitchen Spotlight: Pierre Hermé's Paris Kitchen

2009_03_12-PierreHerme.jpg2009_03_12-HermeThumbs.jpgLook! Amy at Apartment Therapy just tipped us off to a tour of Pierre Hermé's apartment over at The Selby. Here are a few shots of his kitchen, and a link to a full tour of this modern pastry master's home.

 
 

2009_03_12-PierreHerme.jpgA few thoughts:

1 We're so impressed by the sleek, modern minimalism of his kitchen. It's not surprising: Hermé's work is marked by precision and a spare yet whimsical modern flair.

2 The row of hooks over the sink (and what are those bowls??) is really lovely.

3 Modern stovetop - induction, perhaps? And is that the oven underneath? We really wonder whether he bakes at home or not.

4 A piece of wasabi, the signature flavor of his newest macaron.

5 And no visit would be complete without a look at his perfect little macaron cookies.

Have you ever tried a Pierre Hermé recipe or confection?

Books, books and more books. Even Herme learns something new every day.

That chair looks like reminiscent of a Rennie Mackintosh!

I've been dreaming of his macarons all day...

Ispahan, Jasmin, Rose, Caramel et Fleur de Sel...

(I also dream of Ladurée macarons too though (for Valentines, we bought their largest box!!). My favourite is a special parfum they have not had for years -- Thé Yunnan. Also love Réglisse (licorice), Pétales de Rose, Griottes, Fleur d’Oranger, Cassis violette, Orange Safran, Muguet ...)

...sigh...
