Yule log 2022 by Stephanie Le Quellec and Pierre Chirac for La Scène restaurant

New Holidays and new incredible yule log to discover at Stéphanie Le Quellec's 2-star restaurant La Scène! Called Forêt Noire, this yule log is the outcome of the partnership between the top chef and her pastry chef, Pierre Chirac, who decided to pay tribute to this famous German cake by modernizing it just a bit.

This Black Forest gateau-inspired yule log includes the traditional markers of the original cake... But do not expect to drown in whipped cream, chocolate shavings and schnaps, not at all - and fortunately! The flavors are very delicate, thanks to the pastry chef's agility and mastering.

The Forêt Noire yule log is based on cocoa cake soaked in tagete-infused syrup, Morello cherry and tagete confit, and light vanilla and Morello cherry brandy cream. All this encased in a thin and crunchy chocolate shell.
