First Snow Magic

You have created a special recipe and pictures for Orlando. Could you tell us what inspired you?

“ Both the time of issue of this edition of Orlando and its pandora’s box theme made me think of the season’s first snow.

In Korea, there is a superstition that if you are to see the first snowfall of the season with someone you like, love will blossom. Outside the country, the first snow remains special as it brings back nostalgic memories of a happy and carefree childhood for a lot of people. Much like the first bloom of Spring, which generates hope and excitement, so does the first snow in Winter, lighting up the dark and gray days. So I wanted to create a recipe that could encapsulate this magical moment.

I decided to create snowflakes meringues - light, airy, fragile, and melting in your mouth just like those snowflakes that you tried to catch with your tongue when you were a child, and serve with double cream, just like a Swiss classic ‘Meringues double crème’, a sweet treat from the ultimate winter wonderland. ”
