January rhymes with galette des Rois, and we love it. Among the many creations on offer in the capital, we'd like to take you on a tour of the Westin Paris Vendôme, where Valentin Sevilla, the former sous-chef of the Royal Monceau and a true talent, combines tradition with gourmet delights.
Valentin Sevilla's Galette des Rois is an ode to traditional patisserie sublimated by a modern technique. This inverted puff pastry, the fruit of seven days' preparation, offers a light, crisp texture, enhanced by a generous filling of Gianduja, a blend of Italian origin combining chocolate and Piedmont hazelnuts. The frangipane, made with Valencian almonds, is delicately flavored with Madagascar vanilla and adorned with a touch of gold leaf. A subtle balance that pays tribute to exceptional products.
A word of advice: pop the galette into the oven and watch the hazelnut praline melt into the heart of the frangipane - a guaranteed success!
This galette is offered as a limited edition. It is available for pre-order within 48 hours of Sunday December 26, 2024, at a price of 56€ for 6 to 8 people.
