Bryan Esposito, former pastry chef at Le Collectionneur and now a consultant, has come up with a highly original Yule log for Christmas 2021. The 13-dessert Cigale log is named Steven Cigale (note the reference to the actor).
Half the proceeds from the sale of this log will be donated to Institut Rafaël, the association that helps cancer patients. Indeed, this year, the chef has decided to get involved in the fight against cancer, a cause that is particularly close to his heart...
The Bûche consists of an olive oil and almond financial cookie, pine nuts, pistachios, walnuts, date compote, figs, dried apricots and honey macerated in Muscat, nougat mousse and candied fruit, orange marmalade cooked in cinnamon mulled wine .
The whole is topped with beggar-style chocolate wings with dried fruit and citrus zest. The whole thing looks complex, but turns out to be fresh and low in sugar, giving us a taste of the South - and we love it!
This limited-edition Cigale de Noël log for 6/8 people, made in harmony with Beaumes de Venise wines, costs 75€, and can be ordered by private message on the chef's instagram @espositobryan and collected from the Institut Raphael on December 23 and 24...
So, a good log for a good cause?
