The "Pécan" galette by Cedric Grolet

We start without further ado with the galette Pécan by Le Meurice pastry chef Cedric Grolet. A traditional galette in shape but surprising in taste.

The "Nutcracker" galette by Nina Métayer

This hazelnut frangipane-flavored galette des rois is inspired by Tchaikovsky's enchanting ballet. For this galette, Nina Métayer teamed up with her friend Alexia Lepelletier to make the crunchy tuile: the round dance at the end of the ballet, bringing together all the dancers. An invitation to share and enjoy being together.
