Pear & Apple
The big star of the season is none other than the pear. With its juicy flesh and sweet scent, it can be used in many desserts, each more delicious than the last. A key association with chocolate, we find the gourmet duo at the heart of a soft cake, in a chocolate tartlet or in a melting crumble.

Its cousin, the apple, is just as popular. Whether it's embellished with raisins in a strudel, caramelized in a tatin or encased in a traditional flognarde, you can enjoy its sweet and tangy taste all season long. Traditionally used in savory recipes, squash can be transformed into a gourmet pecan pie, cake, or cake.

Spices & Pastry
Cinnamon, vanilla, star anise or cloves... Spices are another must-have of the season to enhance our desserts. Thus, we delight in an airy cinnamon cake, a poached pear with ginger and cloves, or the unbeatable gingerbread. Not to mention hazelnuts, walnuts and almonds that add a crunchy touch to traditional apple pies and cakes. Let's get cooking!
