With the ambition of becoming "the first company on planet Earth to be 100% pastry-certified," this book compiles five years of employee training sessions to prepare for Certificat d'Aptitude Professionnelle exams that certify the ability to make good French pastries.
The lessons and recipes are divided into five pastry families (tarts, entremets, choux pastry, puff pastry and viennoiseries) with instructions on making doughs, creating fillings and exploring variations. There's a glossary of pastry terms from bain-marie and frangipane to pecher mignon and T45, an encyclopedia of essential ingredients, and a collection of templates for shaping Paris-Brest, Religieuse, Salambo pastries and more.
