As the Festive Season approaches, Pastry Chef Anne Coruble unveils her New Creation: "Joyau des Pins," a Spectacular Log composed of Thirteen Successive Layers, a Refined Nod to the Thirteen Christmas Desserts, a Provençal Tradition dating back to the 17th Century.
Sculpted like a Souvenir of a Walk in the Forest, this Creation is as much to be admired as it is to be savored, offering a Gustatory Journey to the Heart of Winter.
A Creation Inspired by the Magic of Winter.
Born from a Pine Cone picked in the Heart of the Forest, "Joyau des Pins" embodies the Beauty of Winter Undergrowth and the Magic of December, when Nature is adorned with Silence and Light. As is often the Case in her Creations, Anne Coruble likes to capture the Discreet Beauty of Things: Foliage, Winter Light, Bark... To transform them into Pastry Emotion.

Here, the Pine Cone evokes the First Ornaments hanging from the Branches of the Fir Tree, the Attentive Gestures that precede Christmas Eve, and the Childhood that thrills in the Heart of December. In this Log, it becomes a Living Form, placed in the Center of the Table like a Discreet Homage to Nature and the Imagination of Winter Childhood.
- The Thirteen Layers of Winter Log

Divided into Two Parts, it reveals itself as a Truly Gourmet Composition. The Upper Part, worked in Precise and Regular Reliefs, celebrates the Art of Piping with Meticulous Elegance. Each Scale, carefully placed, invites Tasting in a Delicate Ballet, recalling the Repeated and Passionate Gestures of the Pastry Chef. In counterpoint, the Base is revealed as a Secret Tablet, to be broken and shared, offering an Explosion of Flavors to be distributed generously among Guests, in a Moment of Complicity and Shared Pleasure.
At the Heart of this Creation, 13 Successive Layers intertwine in a Symphony of Rich and Contrasting Textures. This Nod to the 13 Christmas Desserts, a Provençal Tradition rooted since the 17th Century, symbolizes Generosity and Sharing, Values dear to this Festive Season.

Anne Coruble infuses this Log with the Deep, enveloping Scents of the Forest: Wood, Rice, Pine, and Honey Blend together in a Flavor Palette that is at once Sweet, Woody, Milky, and Resinous.

Anne Coruble, Pastry Chef of the Peninsula Paris, Presents Her King Cake "Jewel of the Kings".
On the Occasion of Epiphany, The Peninsula Paris unveils an Exceptional Creation, both Faithful to the Spirit of Tradition and Delicately Reinvented.
Designed to be shared between Eight Guests, the Joyau des Rois Galette stands out for its Elegant and Unique Shape. Its Roundness is enhanced by Delicate Curved Twists, a Modern and Subtle Nod to the more Conventional Striping of a Classic Galette. The Flaky Viennese Pastry, both Crispy on the Outside and Soft in the Center, reveals a Light and Airy Texture that invites you to enjoy it.
Inside lies a Generous Frangipane where Toasted Almonds meet the Sweetness of Fresh Almonds. This Subtle Combination is enhanced by Notes of Orange Blossom, which bring a Delicately Fragrant Touch, evocative of Southern Confectionery. The Whole creates a Gourmet Score with Flavors that are both Comforting and Luminous, capable of seducing the most Refined Palates.
