La Réserve Paris' 2024 Yule Log: a creation by Jérôme Banctel and Jordan Talbot

Are you looking for the most beautiful Yule logs? These exceptional logs will delight the whole table this Christmas. Let's take a look at the Étoile Gabriel, created by three-star chef Jérôme Banctel and pastry chef Jordan Talbot in honor of the palace restaurant's 3-star rating this year.

It's back! Always delicious, sometimes curious, it takes pride of place on our holiday tables, making eyes at us right up to the last minute of the meal. The famous Yule log is back with a host of creations as beautiful as they are original.

Among them is La Réserve Paris - Hotel and Spa. For Christmas 2024, the Parisian palace's new Pastry Chef, Jordan Talbot, who won the Best Pastry Award at Paris 2023, has teamed up with Jérôme Banctel to come up with an original creation.

L'Étoile Gabriel", the new Christmas log. Available in a limited edition at La Réserve Paris, this exceptional creation combines gourmandise and refinement, ideal for illuminating your festive season. Pre-order from December 1ᵉʳ, 2024.

This festive creation is as daring as it is delicate. The crisp cocoa base is subtly enhanced with a hint of fleur de sel, providing a textured, crunchy introduction. It supports a soft chocolate cookie, whose sweetness contrasts with the complex flavors of a buckwheat cream and smooth salted butter caramel. The whole is enveloped in a Grand Cru chocolate mousse, providing fuller-bodied aromatic notes, which should delight true chocolate lovers.

But that's not all: "L'Étoile Gabriel" is also distinguished by its fine finish. On top, there's a thin chocolate bar, reminiscent of the golden hues of the Cordoba leather that adorns the walls of Gabriel's restaurant. Once broken, this shell reveals a heart of buckwheat praline and fleur de sel, perfect for prolonging the gourmet experience, why not at coffee time?

Available in a limited edition, this log for 6 people is priced at 90 euros. It can be pre-ordered from 1ᵉʳ to December 20, 2024, exclusively for takeaway sales.

Don't miss the chance to discover this new Christmas star, a symbol of Parisian refinement. A creation to enjoy with family and friends for a starry-eyed festive occasion.
