Le Cordon Bleu Paris: Mastering the Art of French Pastry

Le Cordon Bleu Paris: Pastry

Another module from my classes at Le Cordon Bleu Paris, and this time it was pastry.

French pastry is deceptively beautiful. What looks effortless in the finished piece is anything but. There is an extraordinary amount of technique behind those perfect layers, textures, fillings and finishes.

This module was about learning how all those elements come together. And, as always at Le Cordon Bleu, presentation matters almost as much as taste.

Some results were more successful than others, but that is rather the point of taking a class.

And yes, we got to eat our homework.
