I’m excited to tell you about Noémie and Christine, the owners of Pistache NY. I had the chance to meet up with them at their kitchen in Brooklyn a couple of weeks ago. I love their pastries, both savory and sweet, and I could live on their quiche Lorraine and pumpkin macaron for the rest of my life.
Even tough the two friends were not meant to work in a kitchen, Noémie was a journalist and Christine had an administrative job, they actually shared the same passions for pastry and New York.
They met while studying at the Ferrandi School of Culinary Arts in Paris and since then became friends and partners.
The weekend I met them, they were working on a wedding banquet. The masterpiece of the banquet naturally was the cake. A decadent two-tier pear-vanilla cake with chocolate feuilletine, decorated with real flowers.
It was a wonderful experience to witness them make so many delicious things from tiny Mont Blancs (a dessert of puréed and sweetened chestnuts topped with whipped cream and a meringue heart) to figue tarts and of course Christine’s famous macarons.
The two will be at the New Amsterdam Market for the New York State Cider and Thanksgiving Market on November 24th and also on December 15th for the Great Solstice Market.
Noémie and Christine also do catering, for more info check out their website.
