His recipes were all foolproof, at least with all I’ve tried….never made a bad one! My fav is his absolute brownies and financiers… delish! His everything Paris guide is priceless!

Also too, its initial three paragraphs sound quite close to sentiments expressed in comments submitted under this post https://www.marketmanila.com/archives/filipino-cookfood-books

David Lebovitz’s btw is about the only other food blog I have the gumption and time to follow nowadays. Here’s the link:

I have had his pastries before, several times, when he was on Lexington Avenue. Bonte, which was another great boulangerie/patisserie in the neighborhood decades ago, was much better in my opinion. More down to earth, better value, good feel. I agree Chef Payard has some brilliant recipes and pastries, they just haven’t made a lasting impression on me… Let’s see how his new patisserie fares, it will be a challenge to be across the street from Kayser. Even if Kayser may not have the most refined pastries…

Pricey as they may be, he is more well known for the pastries and they are good. Of course, I cannot compare much with your Parisian adventure… I have been a follower of Chef Payard…bought his book and made his chocolate mousse, lemon tart and cake. Swooned over his pastries….. Chef Payard is almost always in his restaurant as I remember in his old place. He would always come out after dinner has been fully served, although I have not been lucky to be able to get a picture of him. I will one day.
