At the wheel of his foodtruck Casa Mama on the markets and fairs of South-Gironde, Myriam Dutrey offers her artisanal delicacies. A talented pastry chef, she draws her inspiration from the end of the world to develop local creations, such as this festive waffle in the colors of South West. We crossed his path at La Brède (Gironde), Saturday 12 December 2020, during the Sainte-Luce special confinement.
« I won’t give away my secret. “
Myriam Dutrey sets the frame straight away: the recipe for the Southwestern waffle is hers. The former pastry chef who made fimo pasta trophies for the show Le Meilleur Pâtissier on M6 has decided to leave the adventure after three seasons for a whole new life.
“My tools come from Thailand and Hong Kong”
–That of baking at home and selling your delicacies thanks to your food truck. Today, the Brédoise crisscrosses the markets with her “Casa Mama” van, and “here, it’s 100% homemade,” says Myriam. Moreover, in front of his converted truck, the line does not stop and one of his creations is unanimous …
A rolled and puffed waffle
This is the famous “bubble waffle with foie gras.” »A thick rolled waffle, puffed, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The golden paste made of aromatics, resulting from a “special” mixture, is in the image of the South-West. Because in this cone, impractical to eat, the Delpeyrat foie gras overflows just like the duck breast, sundried tomatoes, nuts and arugula. A very light blend to which is added a caramelized coulis of fig or onion confit.
She learned the trade with the grown-ups
Before starting out, the Brédoise, self-taught by nature, passes her pastry diploma as a free candidate. It was formed under the watchful eye of big names. Among them, Guy Roux (vice-world champion chocolatier), Serge Granger (chocolatier voted best worker in France) and Grégory Doyen (pastry chef). After the adventure on M6, today, it is when she makes her waffles, her ice creams a la plancha, her Panettone or even her lightning-like financiers that she is filled.

Cuisine inspired by elsewhere
In his van, his machines do not resemble those found in a French kitchen. It’s normal. “My tools come from Thailand and Hong Kong », Explains the pastry chef, because the Bubble waffle appeared in the 1950s in Hong Kong. It is made with a cake pop machine which is biased to be able to make these atypical waffles. If these inspirations are Asian, the products are very local and between the smell, the colors and the assembly, these bouquets make people happy.
