This is an homage watercolormigration to Vienna!
I would like to rename it The Ispa-HAM!
Since the Viennese chefs have seen fit to load up on WHIPPED CREAM
Since the Viennese chefs have seen fit to load up on WHIPPED CREAM
or mit schlag as they call it...
Merisi took this photo.
Every which way you turn in Vienna you will be loaded up "mit schlag"
It's the law of the land.
I happen to be one of those rare birds
It's the law of the land.
I happen to be one of those rare birds
who doesn't care much for cream in any form.
That's why this "Mont Blanc" at Angelina's is deflating...
There are other Ispahan copy cats right in Paris itself!
This kitty is missing the treasured rose petal.
Hmmm...wrong wrong wrong
Since Herme's inspiration was the Ispahan rose.
Plus I do not see the tiny, marvelous droplet of moisture
(a glob of glycerine experts tell me)
that graces Pierre Herme's Ispahan.
This is a serious lapse of pastry expertise in my opinion.
Not that anyone's asking...
Lucky Anita of Dessert First has not only sucessfully
made her own version of the Ispahan,
but she got this wonderful souvenir at Herme's Paris shop...
I've never seen it the enteen times I've visited so it must be a limited edition...
What wouldn't you give for one of these?
If you are into schlag, then run to Vienna
and if that isn't convenient,
check out this book
or Wolfgang Puck's recipe for Cremeschnitten.
Mit schlag or not,
do not miss
Merisi's marching Ispahans.
I have to admit they're pretty damn gorgeous
even if they are copy kittens!
