When two major pastry chefs meet, it leads to the best and tastiest collaboration. On one hand, Pierre Hermé, on the other hand, Nicolas Cloiseau – la Maison du Chocolat pastry chef. Together, they came up with two exclusive and vegan pastries. The latter are back in stores on Fridays and Saturdays in the 8 Pierre Hermé stores now open in Paris.
