Every great dessert starts with a core raw ingredient. Understanding it, transforming it, refining it: there lies the skill of a good pastry chef. In this class you'll work with the raw material in all its forms: infused, roasted, whipped, extracted... from the soft biscuit to the cookie, via the financier and the crème diplomate, each preparation will introduce you to the balance of tastes and the variety of textures.

An immersive 3-hour workshop

Delivered in French and consecutively translated into English as required by the group, this workshop dives into the world of pastry-making alongside a Chef from the Ecole Ritz Escoffier. A short, intensive format to explore a seasonal ingredient, in the heart of the Ritz Paris kitchens.

Pistachio cookies

Taste, the origin story

Product selection leaves nothing to chance. Season after season, the school favors raw materials grown from sustainable agriculture by committed producers. Working right next to the hotel kitchens, you'll discover how to fine-tune the balance between sugar, acidity and bitterness. An opportunity to reveal all the flavors of a unique ingredient, thanks to French pastry-making expertise. A true sensory immersion.
