Chef Paula Prandini crafts classic Galette des Rois at Empório Jardim to mark Epiphany with French tradition and special prize.
Christian and French tradition
Epiphany recalls the Magi’s visit to Jesus. Chef Paula Prandini prepared it at Empório Jardim. The Galette costs R$ 230.
The tart features puff pastry and almond cream. This follows French custom. Thus, it honors the day authentically.
Prize ritual and luck
The Galette matches family size. It hides a porcelain trinket. The finder becomes King or Queen for the year.
They promise prosperity and blessings. Moreover, they host next year’s Galette. In this way, tradition endures.
