The world of pastry is an exciting one. It’s waiting for you to explore it. Introducing my new recipe book, Pastry Collection — 12 exquisite recipes that push the boundaries of confectionary innovation while paying homage to the timeless allure of classic flavors.
In Pastry Collection, you'll encounter recipes that showcase the essence of pastry artistry. Each recipe has two options — choose to use my bespoke molds to make uniquely designed creations, or opt to create equally stunning renditions using conventional kitchen equipment. So, if you don't have my signature molds to hand, my modified Pastry Collection book — with recipes adapted for simple molds — is perfect for you. Either way, you’ll be proud to serve the end result. Whether you're a seasoned patissier or an aspiring homebaker, this book will be your guide to pastry mastery.
Learn how to make my heavenly Individual Coffee Cakes, where layers of delicate Joconde sponge intertwine with crunchy hazelnut layers, crème brûlée and velvety vanilla mousse, all crowned with a luxurious velour coating. It's a symphony of flavors and textures that will transport you to a realm of pure bliss. Or indulge in my modern take on the classic Saint Honoré Cake, composed of delicate choux pastry, luscious vanilla mousse, and juicy strawberry confit.
And let’s not forget the irresistible allure of the Chocolate Block Cake. Within its layers, a harmonious symphony of chocolate unfolds, revealing a chocolate sponge cake, decadent praline layer, rich dark chocolate crémeux, and indulgent milk and dark chocolate mousses.
From the vibrant elegance of my Individual Cherry Cakes to the mesmerizing decoration of the Mosaic Cake, each recipe within this collection is a testament to the sheer beauty and indulgence of pastry art. Filled with detailed instructions and insightful tips, this book will equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to bring these culinary masterpieces to life.
