Meeting with Nicolas Paciello

We went to meet Nicolas Paciello, pastry chef of the Cinq Sens in Paris. He created a signature dish for Lafont. We took the opportunity to ask him some questions!

Lafont: how did you express the brand's values on the plate?

Coffee and Lafont, it’s a bit the same story, we come back to the work of the man.
Like clothes, cakes are made by men.
The roaster chooses a good raw material like Lafont needs a good fabric to make a garment. The creation of this recipe is based on the fundamentals, good sourcing, favoring short circuits, opening new horizons.
I met Lafont during the French Dessert Championship where I was a juror, the feeling passed with the team, they told me about their philosophy.
One thing led to another and I took days off to go to them and since then, they have equipped me and my staff. The new range is very interesting, a little sportswear, very comfortable, very cool, I spend my days in a jacket.
It fits me well.

How did you live this experience?

In addition to the original and unexpected exercise of style, that of making a parallel with their values and mine through a recipe, this type of project leads me to do things that I would not do by myself, to evolve in another universe.

The new range is very interesting, a little sportswear, very comfortable, very cool, I spend my days in a jacket. It fits me well.
