Pierre Hermé, world-famous pastry chef

With «pleasure as his only guide», Pierre Herme has invented his own universe

of flavours, sensations and pleasures. The man that American Vogue called the

"Picasso of pastry" creates modern pastries, recognised the world over.

As the fourth generation in a line of Alsatian bakers and pastry chefs, at the

age of 14 Pierre Herme arrived in Paris to undertake an apprenticeship with

Gaston Lenôtre. His thirst for learning opened many doors. Exploring the secrets

of the profession, he gradually worked his way up in the great Parisian House.

His career continued with other big names, notably Fauchon where he was the

head pastry chef for ten years before founding Maison Pierre Herme Paris in 1997.

As an inspired creator, Pierre Herme shakes up the traditions of the trade,

doing away with elaborate decorations taking up too much space; using sugar

like salt, as a seasoning, to reveal other nuances of taste; re-assessing his

work every day, exploring new flavours, mastering new ingredients and

revisiting his own recipes.

Within his creative workshop, Pierre Herme creates tastes and flavour

associations like an artist. He begins his creations with a sketch, just as a

fashion designer would. He writes down the recipes and adjusts the ratios.

Alongside him, pastry chefs carry out tests, until they arrive at the desired result.

From enjoyment and encounters, to reading and travel, fragrances and

textures... Pierre Herme is curious about - and is inspired by - everything.

His work and his audacity make him one of the great names in French gastronomy today.

Voted the World's Best Pastry Chef by the World's 50 Best restaurants in 2016,

the pastry chef-chocolate maker brings his technical mastery, talent and

creativity to gourmets around the world... and beyond! In 2017, Pierre Herme

sent the first macarons into space for astronauts at the International Space Station.
