About this course
The class explores the methods behind three French patisserie components. Participants make shortcrust pastry for sweet or savoury tarts, prepare choux pastry for éclairs, profiteroles and gougères, and emulsify egg-based mixtures into stable pastry cream. The preparations are brought together in a fruit-decorated tart filled with vanilla crème pâtissière, alongside chocolate éclairs and profiteroles.
