Description

French Pastries and Desserts by Lenôtre is a celebration of the legendary master French pâtissier, Gaston Lenôtre, renowned for creating desserts that are not only lighter but more delicious. His innovative techniques continue to influence pastry chefs both in France and globally.

This updated edition of the cult classic cookbook, first published in English in 1977 as Lenôtre's Desserts and Pastries, has been crafted in collaboration with the chefs at Lenôtre Paris along with two of the founder's children.

The book comprises two hundred essential recipes, featuring delights such as croissants, éclairs, crêpes, mille-feuilles, baba au rhum, molten chocolate cake, lemon meringue pie, and mango tartlet. These recipes have been skilfully adapted by the chefs at Lenôtre Paris, who operate a world-class cooking school, to accommodate both amateur bakers and experienced professionals alike.

Drawing inspiration from the rich tradition of Lenôtre's French pâtisserie, this cookbook invites you to explore and master the art that has captivated the culinary world for decades.

About the Author

The great French culinary master Gaston Lenôtre (1920-2009) opened his first pastry shop with his wife Colette in Normandy in 1945, and another in Paris a decade later, before founding École Lenôtre with his son Alain in 1971, which has trained the world's leading pastry chefs. Lenôtre Paris is a culinary empire-from restaurants and catering, to an international network of bakeries and culinary education centres - it embodies French savoir vivre and savoir faire. First published in French, this classic reference has been translated into English, German, Japanese, and Danish. Two of Lenôtre's children participated in this updated edition: Sylvie Gille-Naves, who developed several cookbooks with her father, along with Alain Lenôtre and his wife Marie, who together founded the Culinary Institute Lenôtre in Houston, Texas, ranked as the best college for culinary arts in America by Niche.
