A wind of magic is once again blowing across the capital: Christmas is just around the corner! As the festive season draws to a close, Paris lets itself be swept away by the enchanting atmosphere, which gradually spreads with the illuminations and animated shop windows. And for those with a sweet tooth, it's Yule log season. Every year, in the four corners of the City of Light, the most talented craftsmen and pastry chefs unveil their gourmet creations to accompany our festive tables and contribute to the beautiful moments we spend with our loved ones.
Tartelettes, the unusual pastry shop for sweet and savory pies in Paris
Tartelettes is this original pastry shop in Paris that invites us to discover hot pies that come in sweet or savory versions. Here is an address that will make everyone agree! [Read more]
In the heart of the capital, in the rue de Montmartre, Tartelettes is one of those good addresses that promises us great culinary experiences through its tarts with creative, not very sweet recipes that evolve with the seasons. For this Christmas 2024 in Paris, she invites us to discover her creations, which evoke the spirit of the festive season, and which could well make a lasting impression when the time comes to bring your banquets to a close.
The result is a collection of gluten-free logs inspired by the seasonal and timeless creations of this inventive pastry. The Iranian pistachio, faithful to the taste of this famous dried fruit, is full of gourmet goodness, and takes us on a journey through a range of textures, from crunchy to whipped. Its forest counterpart, hazelnut, is also featured in a generous, not-too-sweet log that should delight praline aficionados. For taste buds in love with tangy flavors, the log with three lemons-black, yellow and green-should hit the bull's-eye. After all, it's inspired by the lemon meringue pie, the great indulgence of sweet tooths!
Our favorite is the coconut-pandan log. This combo, unusual for a Yule log, is found in a more classic form of this festive specialty, using the traditional rolled pastry. Lightly sweetened, it's the perfect way to round off a light meal. Pandan is an aromatic plant widely used in Southeast Asian gastronomy, with a delicate taste and hints of vanilla and brown roast. The very subtle flavor of pandan is clearly evident in this original Yule log, which is a perfect match for coconut, with the added bonus of a pandan & yuzu confit that adds a fresh, peppy note to the whole.
Our second favorite is the Forêt Noire log, which will delight chocoholics with its lightly sweet, mineral cocoa notes, while reconciling those who usually shy away from the heaviness of chocolate pastries. Inspired by the famous German specialty, this chocolate, Morello cherry and vanilla log is a comforting creation that captures the spirit of the festive season.
Last but not least, for those in search of something different, Tartelettes also unveils a very fruity Christmas Pavlova, with a striking combo of mango, passion fruit and vanilla. Just the thing for adventurers looking to get away from it all!
All these logs will be available in individual formats from December 2, 2024, allowing you to try them out before deciding on a larger format for a festive feast. As for the sharing formats, you'll need to order 48 hours in advance, with collection possible from December 16, 2024.
