Description

Discover Nice through one of its most unknown yet most delicious heritages: its traditional pastry specialties. In a warm, intimate, and friendly setting, sit down for a commented food tasting led by a professional pastry chef who is passionate about the flavors of her region. This experience is an invitation to slow down, to converse, and to discover the gourmet history of Nice through iconic recipes passed down through generations. During this food tasting, you will enjoy three individual artisanal pastries carefully selected to represent the local culinary identity. In particular, you will discover a delicate lemon tart that showcases the region's citrus fruits, a delicacy scented with orange blossom and Mediterranean notes, and an authentic sweet chard pie, a must-try specialty of Nice's heritage and a true gastronomic curiosity for visitors. Each creation is made from carefully selected ingredients and inspired by the agricultural riches of the Nice hinterland. Your host will share with you the origins of these recipes, their place in the local culture, and the artisanal techniques that preserve their authenticity. As the seasons change, you will also discover the importance of the fruits grown in the Nice hinterland, which inspire the pastry chef's work throughout the year. Strawberries and cherries in spring, apricots, peaches and melons in summer, figs in autumn, and citrus fruits in winter bear witness to the exceptional richness of the Mediterranean terroir. Throughout the experience, you will be able to ask questions, talk freely with the pastry chef, and enjoy a special moment away from the traditional tourist routes. A hot or cold drink of your choice will accompany your food tasting for a complete gourmet break. Whether you're a foodie, passionate about pastry, or simply curious to discover Nice in a different way, this experience will allow you to explore the city through its most authentic flavors and its most delicious traditions.
