Book Calisson Nougat

Calisson Nougat, the new book by Roy René

Royal epics, Christmas tales, miraculous legends: calisson and nougat are the heroes of a thousand and one tales. They are the delightful novels of Provence that this book celebrates. 

Throughout the pages of this beautiful book - which invites the reader to discover the history of the sweets of Provence, the secrets of making calisson and nougat or the tradition of the blessing of the calisson - are revealed the flavours of a gastronomic heritage that the confectioner Le Roy René has been honouring for a century.

From regional products (almonds, melons...), Le Roy René has imagined twenty-five original and easy recipes based on calissons, black nougat or white nougat.

Five chefs have given themselves carte blanche to create ten recipes that are as original as they are gourmet: Laila Aouba, Christophe Felder, Patrice Gelbart, Stéphane Jégo and Georgina Viou.

The book that finally puts two cult Provençal delicacies in majesty.
