(Very) Great Classics
The Pastry Collection for Autumn-Winter 2009/2010

Christophe Michalak, Head Pastrycook at the Plaza Athénée Hotel, is convinced that a combination of “high-class” products, simplicity and generosity is the key to a cake or pastry that is a true delight. This season, he is taking a whole new look at the “Great Classics”, in every sense of the term.

First of all, he is using his creative flair to reinvent each of our traditional French pastries, giving them his own very personal touch – the famous Paris-Brest has become a Paris-Montaigne, the lemon meringue tart is “not too heavy on the meringue” and the flaky pastry in the vanilla slice has been rotated through 90 degrees!

Secondly, his pastries are served by the metre, so that everybody can choose the portion size they want! Those with a sweet tooth will be able to give free rein to their preferences while those who are watching their weight will be able to enjoy a “little treat”!

Finally, those who appreciate the French lifestyle will enjoy the traditional service provided by our maîtres d’hôtel.
A collection to delight food connoisseurs and food lovers alike.

	Paris-Montaigne – available at the Relais Plaza and Galerie Chou pastry, soft praline, Piedmont hazelnut cream – this is the Michalak version of the Paris-Brest. And who could resist a brief stop on Avenue Montaigne to taste it?
	Lemon tart… but not too heavy on the meringue – available at the Relais Plaza A fresh egg custard on a biscuit base topped with an ethereal meringue, lemon jelly and preserved lemons. This lemon tart will delight the most ardent fans!
	Chocolate Tart – available at the Relais Plaza For chocoholics, this combination of biscuit base, light ganache and real chocolate truffles is decorated with chocolates sticks.
	Double Vanilla Slice – available at the Galerie des Gobelins and the Relais Plaza This vanilla slice is light and easy to cut so that you don’t lose a single crumb!
	Apple/Quince Upside Down Tart – available at the Relais The famous upside down “Tarte Tatin” is covered with apples and quince. Served with crème fraîche, this is a combination that will bowl you over!
