POILÂNE: The Secrets of the World-Famous Bread Bakery de Apollonia Poilâne

Bread is Back!

POILÂNE: The Secrets of the World-Famous Bread Bakery
by Apollonia Poilâne
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, October 29th 2019

To food lovers the world over, a trip to Paris is not complete without a visit to Poilâne. Ina Garten raves about the bread’s “extraordinary quality.” Martha Stewart says the P in Poilâne stands for “perfect.” For the first time, Poilâne provides detailed instructions so bakers can reproduce its unique “hug-sized” sourdough loaves at home, as well as the bakery’s other much-loved breads and pastries. It tells the story of how Apollonia Poilâne, the third-generation baker and owner, took over the global business at age eighteen and steered it into the future as a Harvard University freshman after her parents were killed in a helicopter crash.
Beyond bread, Apollonia includes recipes for pastries such as the bakery’s exquisite but unfussy tarts and butter cookies. In recipes that use bread as an ingredient, she shows how to make the most from a loaf, from crust to crumb. In still other dishes, she explores the world of grains: rice, corn, barley, oats, and millet. From sunup to sundown, Poilâne traces the hours in a baker’s day, blending narrative, recipes, and Apollonia’s philosophy of bread.

Dominique Ansel primé avec le James Beard Award !

La James Beard Foundation, institution culinaire américaine d’excellence, a décerné le prix 2014 « Outstanding Pastry Chef » à Dominique Ansel, le pâtissier français le plus apprécié des Américains, mondialement connu pour avoir créé les Cronut. En février, Le Monde lui avait dédié un bel article.

Inutile d’ajouter que son prochain ouvrage, prévu pour le prochain octobre, est l’un des livres de cuisine les plus attendus de 2014:

« The most fêted pastry chef in the world. » -The Daily Mail UK

Coming this autumn from Simon & Schuster is Dominique Ansel’s very first cookbook in which he blends his unique and widely-acclaimed philosophy with eye-popping photography and recipes that will enable bakers of many levels to make some of his incredible creations at home. He will share the recipe for The CronutTM – Dominique’s unbelievable marriage of a croissant and a donut that drives people to line up for hours outside of his Soho bakery every morning, has spurred dozens of copy cats, and has been covered by the international media, including but not limited to the UK, France, Japan, Spain, Italy, Germany and many more. Last month Dominique introduced the Cookie Shot – a cookie baked in the form of a glass that is served with a shot of milk inside – that has become his latest, queue-forming creation.

Un gâteau d’exception contre votre carte de visite !

Pour annoncer le prochain livre du grand pâtissier français Dominique Ansel, the Gernert Company a concocté une initiative très gourmande :

To raise awareness about the incredible cookbook in the works by French pastry chef Dominique Ansel, Rebecca Gardner will be bringing with her to LIBF actual samples of one Dominique’s creations.

In exchange for a business card, the first 75 people who come to table 31K in the LIBF Agents Center on Wednesday, April 9th between 10:00am and 4:00pm will get a delightful goodie to take away.

To be clear, it will not be Dominique’s most famous creation – The CronutTM – but it will be something delicious that can be enjoyed on the spot or can be easily transported home.

Le compte Instagram de Mimi Thorisson est à ne pas manquer, selon Vanity Fair

Mise à jour du 2 juillet 2014 : droits achetés par Hachette Pratique

Chaque semaine, VanityFair.fr recommande un compte Instagram à suivre à tout prix. Cette semaine, le compte « à ne pas manquer » est celui de Mimi Thorisson, présentatrice de ‘La Table de Mimi’ sur Cuisine +, la chaîne thématique de Canal +, et blogueuse à succès.

Le 28 octobre 2014, Clarkson Potter publiera son premier livre de cuisine. Les images somptueuses prises par son mari photographe et les recettes simples, sans être simplistes, de Mimi sauront séduire les amoureux du terroir français et de la cuisine en général. Un ouvrage qui fera également découvrir un magnifique château perdu dans la campagne française.

Mimi Thorisson et son mari ont quitté Paris pour s’installer avec leurs six enfants dans un château du Médoc. Là-bas, les succulents produits du terroir associés à un cadre bucolique ont révélé sa fantaisie aux fourneaux, et son journal culinaire « Manger », blog en langue anglaise qui fait référence sur la toile, est ainsi né.

Le plus beau livre de cuisine de 2014 ?
