This mixing bowl (or "cul de poule") is part of the "Essentiel de patisserie" collection designed by Matali Crasset with Alessi. The "cul-de-poule" is a semi-spherical container that comprises an amusing round bump which allows you to mix the ingredients in small quantities at first, in particular at the beginning of a recipe, hence before increasing the porportions to be mixed in the main conainer. "Essentiel de patisserie" arose from a friendship and from a meeting which connects the designer Matali Crasset and the pastry cook Pierre Hermé : tools which get to the point.
"We often blame the pastry for being too complex, I like the idea that these tools contribute to put the pastry within the reach of all, by getting to the point" (Matali Crasset). "In pastry, the shape of tools arises from their function" (Pierre Hermé).
