Pastry Chef Pichet Ong News...

[tan319]

Pastry chef Pichet Ong is a busy guy right now.

In the New York Times Magazine last week writer Amanda Hesser brought back a Meringue Torte recipe they first published in the '70s and brought it to Pichet, who updated it to a slightly less sweet dessert of meringue nests scented with Kaffir Lime and a lime custard with a papaya "salad" garnish!

It's a nice piece. both recipes are very good!

In the meantime, Pichet is readying the opening of his Dessert Restaurant/ Bar/Ice Creamerie/etc. aptly named 'P*ONG'.

Couple that with a demo at the First International Chefs Congress starchefs.com/icc and hopefully some promo for his first cookbook to published late this year and that = 'whew!'

Here's his website again if you haven't seen it yet
