This year, the Chef reinterprets the emblematic galette, combining tradition and elegance, inspired by the typically French texture of croissant dough and the hazelnut, the true star of this creation, declined in several textures.

When questioned, Maxence reveals that he has come back to a gourmet version with caramel, a best of that we liked so much two years ago and which is back in an exquisite version. In any case, it's one of our favorites of this year. Admittedly, it's not cheap, but if you're looking for La galette au feuilletage de folie, with different textures and a taste of home, you've come to the right place.
