The Caramelized Millefeuille

As we stood outside the pâtisserie of chef @cedricgrolet, I was mesmerized by the talented young chefs at work. The caramelized millefeuille layers were stacked vertically, and the vanilla pastry cream was laced with pistachio and red berries coulis. It was made on the spot (or à la minute!) for a lucky customer. My appreciation for French pastry making is growing more and more. Chef Cedric, considered as one of the top chef pâtissier in the world, is recognized for his use of seasonal fruits and his innovative approach to traditional desserts. I love the fact that his masterpieces are not overly sweet.
