On missing Pierre Hermé Paris

Shortly after I received an email from Anna - the girl who used to bake all the viennoiseries, tart crusts and cannelés, and turned out to be a lovely friend -, I couldn’t help but feel nostalgic about the overwhelming ten weeks I spent at Pierre Hermé Paris.
This is the place I want to be right now. The place I miss the most I the entire world (hopefully, I might be able to go back; cross your fingers for me).
I’m afraid you won’t hear more for today. Just my endless love for pâtisserie, and more specifically Pierre Hermé’s. It’s funny how, more than two months after it finished, I still have some automated reactions:
- I tend to use vous a lot, even when talking to people my age
- I shout chaud! when walking behind someone
- I hate it when my flatmates put knives in the sink. “Didn’t you learn that any sharp tool should be washed immediately to avoid unnecessary cuts?”
The list could just go on and on, but well, I need some sleep. And just to tease you: what baked good exactly weighs 180g before going into the oven? Hmmmm hint hint. The next Pierre Hermé write-up totally will be about that.

Get back to Paris, asap. kthanx?
Aswell as “Chaud!” did you also have to shout “Behind!” when behind someone so you didn’t get smashed in the face?
I know what you mean about the knives. Also, disrespect for knives. My Housemates always use mine, scrape things with them, then put them on the draining board!

How funnny! I showed the same dessert today - before and after it took a hit in the Metro. I sympathize with you completely and I’ve never worked at PH.

I can’t wait to hear more about your time at Pierre Hermé - maybe you will be working there full time by the time I finally get to Paris ;)
