Description
Looking to significantly elevate your dessert skills? Chef Yoanna Yordanova, who specialized in classic and contemporary pastry techniques at one of the most prestigious French culinary academies, has designed the perfect intensive course for you.
Five days dedicated to five major themes in French pastry, allowing you to master new techniques every day while preparing a diverse range of traditional and modern French desserts.
The course is held in small groups of up to 10 people, with everyone having their own workstation. This way, participants have the opportunity to go through all the steps of preparing the desserts and to receive feedback from the chef instructor.
What will you cook?
- Pâte à choux (eclairs and profiteroles with crispy crust)
- Tartes (tarts)
- Gâteaux de voyage | Madeleines (cakes and madeleines)
- Entremets (multi-ingredient desserts)
- Pâte feuilletée (desserts made from handmade puff pastry)
What will you learn?
You will be introduced to key pastry techniques for working with choux pastry, shortcrust, and puff pastry while preparing various cake bases and assembling multi-component desserts.
You will elevate your technical skills and knowledge: from dough lamination and proper piping to preparing creams and decorations — you will understand how structure and texture determine the success of every dessert, and how to adjust your technique on the go.
Independence in the kitchen: You will experience the entire journey from the raw ingredients to the finished product, gaining the confidence to turn individual components into stable and beautifully crafted desserts.
