金曜日はピエール・エルメのフェティッシュ・パーティーへ参加してきた。今回は新宿伊勢丹の食品フロアのリフレッシュオープン1周年記念のイベントで、ワタシにとっては神様のような存在のピエール・エルメ氏本人が来日。モジモジしながらも誕生日プレゼントにもらった「ピエール・エルメのお菓子の世界」にサインをもらって大感激。とっても優しそうな人だったので、調子に乗って写真まで一緒に撮ってもらった(涙)。
On Friday, I went to the Pierre Hermé Fetish Party in Shinjuku. This event was held by Shinjuku Isetan department store, they are celebrating their first anniversary of the new food floor in the basement. The great thing was that Pierre Hermé himself turned up to the party! He is the patisserie god to me, I had to ask him to sign my book: pâtissier secrets gourmands which was my birthday present from C. He seemed like a really nice gentleman, so I became greedy and asked him to take a picture together too!

先週、姉から北海道の立派なアスパラガスをドッサリともらった。最近は近所のスーパーでもホワイトアスパラガス見かける様になったけど、まだまだちょっと貧弱(で高い)。数年前にドイツに旅行したのが5月。初夏のドイツの風物詩のホワイトアスパラが、マーケットや道路沿いなど、あちこちで束になって売られていた。そのアスパラの太くてたくましかった事。ちなみにドイツではアスパラガスと言えばグリーンではなくホワイトなんだとか。さて、パスタとスープでも作ろうかなと考えていたら、相棒がハムと一緒に食べるのがドイツ流と言うので、ドミニク・サブロンのパンとハムを付け合わせに、ホワイトアスパラをメインにしてモリモリ食べた。旨かった。パスタなんてのは邪道な考えだったよう。
Last week, my sister gave me lots of beautiful asparagus she received from Hokkaido. White asparagus is still quite uncommon in Japan, I sometimes see them in a local supermarket but they are really skinny (and expensive). When I visited Germany many years ago, it was May and I remember seeing huge white asparagus everywhere: the symbol of early summer in Germany. I was so surprised at the size of asparagus! I was wondering how to cook our white asparagus, maybe pasta and soup? Then C told me that he usually eat it simply with cooked ham in Germany. So our dinner was lots of boiled white asparagus with cooked ham and some tasty bread from Le Boulanger Dominique SAIBRON. It was so good, C was very satisfied too!
