So so excited to try this when I have a bit more time! I used to work at Maitre Choux in South Kensington as a barista and shop assistant and we were allowed to take unsold produce home at the end of the day. God I loved that job. They were all amazing but Paris Brest eclair was just so ridiculously lush. Perfection.
Best choux I’ve ever had has to be the eclairs from L’Éclair de génie in Paris, specifically the salted caramel one. You can’t go wrong with an eclair! Unless you fill it with whipped cream and not pastry cream...
Loved this, thank you so much for this and the rest of the newsletter, really enjoying reading about the more technical details of the bakes! On a similar note, I tried baking these fresh vs freezing vs overnight resting and found both fresh and freezing to be similar to each other and better than the overnight. Thanks again, looking forward to the next one!
I had the creamy scrambled egg gougeres from Daily Provisions in NYC for breakfast a few years ago and... it was everything. I still think about it a lot.

I had my tiny mind exploded by choux at Maison du Choux in Paris. I even bought a tote bag.

Is it weird that I love the ones that are full of...AIR?! With sugar ? :o Wait, I'm thinking of chouquettes ;(
