There is no stopping Alain Ducasse! After having opened, in the past years, a coffee factory, a chocolate factory, an ice cream factory and a tea room that combines all these know-how, the starred chef is now embarking on a new adventure: the cookie!
On September 1st, Le Biscuit Alain Ducasse will open its doors next to Chocolat Alain Ducasse and Café Alain Ducasse, in the 11th district of Paris. A highly gourmet place where it will be possible to savor thirty or so intensely flavored cookies whose recipes have been developed by pastry chef Flora Davies and executive pastry chef Arnaud Coutret.
As usual, Alain Ducasse has made it a point of honor to select high quality raw materials, carefully sourced from the best producers. The butter comes from a farm in Cotentin, the organic flours from Lot-et-Garonne, the butter is made with Guérande salt, the honey from Chambron, the citrus fruits come from Corsica; while the coffee, ice cream and chocolate come, of course, from the chef's different factories.
Among the sweets that you will be able to taste from September 1st, let's mention the cookies-bars with their inserts of candied oranges and hazelnuts for one, cocoa nibs and chocolate ganache from Peru for the second, and finally dates, apricots, figs, raisins and cranberries for the third; hazelnut and pistachio praline palets and candied orange and lemon palets; chewy buckwheat and chia seed bars; and hexagonal-shaped cookies.
Other marvels that we are already excited about are the traditional Manufacture's baked cookies, which we imagine to be incredible, but also the minute cookies, the most pastry-like version of shortbread, made to order in chocolate, hazelnut or lemon versions. Thesweet address not to be missed this fall!
