I&#39;m so jealous!!! LOL<br /><br />just a teeny comment on the MOF bit. Conferring Glacier with the MOF does win him a lot of recognition and credibility, especially amongst his colleagues but it doesn&#39;t make him the Best Pastry Maker in France. This once-every-four-years event is like the the Olympics of pastry making, where french patissiers from all over the country pit against each other over 3-4 days over a range of skills from making gateaux, petit fours, chocolate work and finally sugar work, for the title. Usually more than one patissier are conferred that title each time, like in 2009 there were 4. Winning the title means that they are very good, but probably not the best, if there&#39;s ever such a thing. <br /><br />Moreover, a lot of very very fine and distinguished French patissiers do not have the title, and I&#39;m pretty sure they do not need it either. Philippe Conticini, Pierre Herme, Christophe Adam, Hugues Pouget, just to name a few. Pierre Herme was one of the presiding judges for the plated dessert component in the 2009 MOF incidentally. :)<br /><br />fantastic blog you have here. very informative. shall be peeking over more often now.travellingfoodieshttp://travellingfoodies.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7946609646703803527.post-61114679659771814542011-09-16T16:07:04.812+08:002011-09-16T16:07:04.812+08:00Your dad took all these photos?
