Creations

Each creation begins with an idea, a memory or an ingredient worth exploring. Technique gives it structure. Taste makes the final decision.

P&C · Peanuts & Chocolate
01 · FRENCH SUSTAINABLE PASTRY CHAMPIONSHIP

P&C · Peanuts & Chocolate

A childhood flavour made more grown-up: peanuts grown in Soustons, Valrhona dark chocolate and Dartigalongue Armagnac. Nostalgic, precise and built around ingredients from the South-West.

Rhubarb · Shiso · Yogurt
02 · LA TABLE · SUMMER 2026

Rhubarb · Shiso · Yogurt

Rhubarb worked raw, confit and sous-vide, with its juices gathered into the sauce. Shiso cream and yogurt ice cream bring freshness to a dessert designed to finish the meal lightly.

Off on Holidays!
03 · FRENCH DESSERT CHAMPIONSHIP 2026

Off on Holidays!

Inspired by the Pim’s eaten on childhood car journeys. Dark chocolate meets the whole orange: zest in the cream, fruit and zest in the marmalade, and juice in the confit.

The Vanilla Croissant
04 · VIENNOISERIE

The Vanilla Croissant

Careful lamination, quality flour and a long, slow proof create clean layers, a crisp shell and a true fermented-butter flavour, with vanilla at the centre.

Chocolate & Orange
05 · CHRISTMAS 2025

Chocolate & Orange

A festive creation built on the clarity of dark chocolate and the brightness of orange. Familiar flavours, sharpened by contrast and kept deliberately balanced.

Chimichurri Spice Bread
06 · BREAD · LA TABLE

Chimichurri Spice Bread

A savoury bread created to open the gastronomic menu: aromatic, warm and lightly spiced, with the flavours of chimichurri running through a soft, generous crumb.

Strawberry · Verbena Pie
07 · SEASONAL CREATION

Strawberry · Verbena Pie

Ripe strawberries, a crisp pastry base and the fresh, lemony lift of verbena. A seasonal tart where the fruit remains unmistakably at the centre.

The Pavlova
08 · CELEBRATION

The Pavlova

A generous celebration of crisp meringue, soft cream and fresh berries. Made to be shared around a table rather than admired from a distance.
