Discover baking differently with Chef Clément

Chef Clément invites you to bake with him around traditional French cakes. More than a recipe, you will learn many techniques to save you time and efficiency while achieving the perfect result.

Where every gesture can make a difference

As you probably know, French pastry is all about precision. Every gram can change the result, a gesture made a little too quickly can ruin the recipe, random cooking can change the final texture. You will learn all these little things alongside the Chef during his class.

Learn the most famous recipes

As you can see from the Chef’s photos above, you can learn a large number of recipes at his side. Among his must-haves, there is the macaron workshop (Two biscuit shells filled with a ganache in the center). He has trained more than 5,000 French customers on this theme alone. He also specializes in choux pastry (which allows you to make cream puffs, chocolate or vanilla éclairs or even croque en bouche). Finally, among the traditional desserts that he loves and teaches the most, there is still the very famous millefeuille or the Trianon (which is a cake with 3 layers: hazelnut dacquoise biscuit, praline crisp and chocolate mousse).

What recipes are offered in the pastry theme?

Below you will find the different recipes offered in Chef Clément’s pastry class. It will sometimes be possible to make two recipes or to focus only on one cake. For example, it will be possible to do a class only on macarons, only on choux and éclairs or only on millefeuille. It may also be possible to combine macarons (with a simple flavor, chocolate for example) with a second dessert such as vanilla cream puffs or Trianon.
