Maison Pommiers, the adventure of a passionate man who loves… Basque cake!

Frédéric Pommiers fell into the baking pot when he was little, alongside his maternal grandmother behind her stoves. The passion evolved over time and led him to a Baccalaureate and then a CAP pastry chef, opening the doors to 3* Michelin restaurants like "Le Gavroche" in London, or "le Moulin de Mougins" in Cannes. The dream came true in 1992 with the opening of his boutique which would become Maison Pommiers, after training in Valence with MOF Daniel Giraud. The adventure began and ideas flowed, notably that of innovating with new recipes for less sweet pastries, which respect the taste of seasonal products. A few years were enough for the Gâteau Basque to be the center of attention, the flagship product of the region. Ready to treat yourself?

Maison Pommiers, the story of a Basque cake revisited in Anglet

The trigger is almost immediate when one day in a restaurant, Frédéric tastes a disappointing Basque cake. This is the starting point of the whole story since after realizing that this emblematic pastry is not always valued, he wants to restore all its nobility to the Basque cake, a living recipe which according to him must evolve over time. Since 2015, Frédéric and his teams have been baking, innovating and testing new recipes, until finding the perfect formula. Lighter, less fatty and less sweet, Maison Pommiers offers a contemporary version of the traditional Basque cake. Inimitable in its taste and its shape, reworked with Nadège Goyty and evoking an elegant Basque cross, it delights all the palates of connoisseurs and gourmets. The secret? a redesigned manufacturing process, controlled temperatures and an adapted cooking method, quite simply.
