Last week we had the pleasure of listening and tasting the delicate and delectable chocolates and desserts of Jacques Torres. Chef Torres is a master chef and master chocolatier and is amazing with pastries. He made these marshmellow pistacio things, cranberry pumpkin seed peanut brittle, black and white cookies, and these little fried pieces of dough that he called fried clouds. Oh, and he made some little chocolates with pistacio as well. He worked so fast but so delicate at the same time. Amazing stuff. He also made this chocolate structure that he put all the goodies on and a Louis Vuitton chocolate purse. Again amazing. I will have to wait and see how dessert week goes but i am thinking speciallizing in desserts and pastries would be awesome. Next week is the start of desserts, should be an exciting week.
Then the next day or maybe it was the day before, i really don't remember, a couple of us went to this place called Vosges. They specialize in chocolates and coffees and teas. It was great. Had this curry, pumpkin spice, chocolate chip cookie that was to die for, a great cup of tea, and a chocolate infused with taleggio cheese. It was pretty good stuff.
I highly recommend it and probably will go back a couple of times. Definitely a place if you have had a rough day and need a pick me up or just a good place to relax and have fun.
i think i've had vosages chocolates. there's one with sea salt that is super yummy!
