The Hôtel Prince de Galles 2024 Yule log by Hélène Kerloeguen: an "architectural" dessert

Paris lights up and the Prince of Wales delights - Ah, December ... A time when Paris sparkles, shop windows dance and family outings take on an enchanting air... But what would all this enchantment be without a touch of gourmet delights as refined as they are unexpected? Once again this year, under the gilded chandeliers of the Triangle d'Or, theHôtel Prince de Galles is pulling out all the stops with a Yule log designed by Hélène Kerloeguen, the head pastry chef at this legendary address.

For her second holiday creation, Hélène treats us to a Bûche Signature 2024 inspired by the mosaic columns of the hotel's sumptuous Art Deco patio. As elegant as it is daring, this dessert plays on the festive alliance of pistachio, Corsican clementine, mandarin orange and orange blossom.

Texture-wise, we start with a crunchy pistachio cookie that ensures softness, while an orange blossom mousse is light and fragrant, with a rounded mouthfeel. And for the final twist, a compote of Corsican clementine and mandarin, full of pep, and a hint of lemon curd that tickles the palate with a hint of acidity. A balanced explosion of flavors full of surprises for a fresh finish.

Available in a limited edition for 6 to 8 guests, the Prince of Wales Signature Log 2024 is available for pre-order from November 1 to December 29, for collection from December 15 to 31. And for those with a sweet tooth, a mini version, the Bûchette Signature, can be enjoyed throughout December in the Akira Back Paris and Bar & Restaurant 19.20 by Norbert Tarayre restaurants, as well as in room service.

Finesse, pep and bursts of deliciousness: the Prince of Wales Signature Log 2024 celebrates the French art of living, with beauty and lightness!
