Michaël Bartocetti' s Christmas Log at the Shangri-La Hotel Paris is as original as it is delicious. Indeed, as Christmas is above all a family celebration, the chef drew on his childhood memories to find the image of a timeless, aesthetically pleasing toy. So this year, it's a playful spinning top that takes pride of place.
With its imposing handle height, this log will adorn our Christmas table magnificently. Just remember to order it 72 hours in advance. Delicately placed in a suitable gift box, it will arrive without a hitch on your family table.
In terms of flavors, the chef has opted for sure-fire values to please young and old alike. Chocolate is an ideal choice. Especially since this chocolate base is a real killer. With its beggar's shape, it contains roasted nuts and dried fruit - we love it.
This top, made up of 5 parts to assemble, reveals several layers. Imagine a Madong chocolate mousse from Papua New Guinea on a bed of old-fashioned hazelnut praline, with a creamy gianduja and a gingerbread cookie, all resting on a hazelnut and fleur de sel crunch, and the whole covered with a delicate layer of 66% Caraïbe chocolate.
Fresh, light and melt-in-your-mouth, this log is the perfect end to a hearty Christmas meal. You can enjoy this log at one of La Bauhinia's tables, or at home once you've ordered it - a wonderful discovery that we recommend.
For the festive season, a simplified version will be available in the tearoom.
