I’m back on the blog after a short break, during which\u00a0I enjoyed the magic atmosphere<\/strong> of the\u00a0film festival<\/strong> here in Cannes<\/strong>. The city changes completely during the festival: lots of\u00a0photographs, journalists, movie stars<\/strong>, police security and then even cheap shops start selling tuxedos<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

\"Zara<\/a>We have\u00a0two crazy, glamorous weeks a year, where lots of people try\u00a0to crash the private beach parties. Once again, I failed miserably<\/strong> in getting an invitation to those so I just ended up baking at home<\/strong> as usual. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I had been waiting for strawberries<\/strong> to come back\u00a0since last September, when I found this recipe by Christophe Adam<\/a>:\u00a0pistachio and strawberry \u00e9clairs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Christophe Adam<\/strong> has been modernizing \u00e9clairs<\/strong> in the last years and I absolutely love the looks of his pastries<\/strong>, all very colourful<\/strong> and original<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These pistachio and strawberry \u00e9clairs<\/strong> \u00a0are decorated with strawberry slices and a whipped pistachio ganache<\/strong> which hides a small spongecake<\/strong> soaked in a\u00a0strawberry and orange blossom water syrup. Sounds fancy uh? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I won’t lie to you: this recipe takes time. Oh, and you also need to be able to make choux pastry<\/strong>, a spongecake and a whipped ganache… but everything is possible if you follow my step-by-step recipe<\/strong>! \ud83d\ude00 Have fun!<\/p>\n
