Delicacies in April with Le Palais Gourmand
The month of April means the arrival of sunny days, but especially the return of the strawberry season! For the occasion, we are sharing a gourmet recipe that get everyone to agree.
Today we went to meet Jérôme Roland, pastry chef and chocolate maker at the Palais Gourmand. For several years, he and his team settled in the city center of Monteux to share his passion and talent in order to discover his creations and especially to delight the most gourmets! In addition to pastries, Le Palais Gourmand also prepares macarons, sorbets, but also unique creations for special events such as birthdays and weddings!
To celebrate the strawberry season, Jérôme has therefore concocted a delicious recipe based on one of the stars of Ventoux.
In the morning, we went to the peasant market in Monteux, one of the main strawberry producing cities along with Pernes-les-Fontaines and of course Carpentras. After a short stroll to meet local producers, we did our shopping to develop our recipe. Jérôme favors local and seasonal products, synonymous with quality for his creations!
Let's get serious, creating a magnificent dessert!
