The new edition of our Bakery-Pastry Masterclass, led by Christian Gillet, French Baking Champion, and Rachel Blanchon, Scientist, organized on August 12th & 13th was a huge success!
Over two days, more than 30 guests enjoyed a rich and professional learning experience, combining modern techniques, traditional know-how and a scientific approach to better understand raw materials, their interactions, and the best way to work with them… in a studious and convivial atmosphere!
Everyone got their hands dirty, experimenting innovative recipes, discovering culinary tricks, and applying professional techniques through theoretical sessions or creative, fun hands-on workshops. Two important topics were also addressed: the better performance of French vs. American flours in bakery-pastry, with supporting tests, and the relevance of “anti-gaspi” recipes to optimize production and, in turn, costs. This last point added an eco-responsible dimension to the event.
Among our guests, we were fortunate to welcome several highly talented chefs, known and recognized in the United States and Miami, whose presence, know-how, passion and infectious enthusiasm added a very special dimension to this Masterclass.
But beyond the learning and demonstrations, one of our objectives was to create a real moment of meeting and exchange. And that’s exactly what happened, to our great satisfaction! All the participants worked hand in hand, sharing their knowledge and professional tricks in good mood, and forging strong links between enthusiasts. All of these moments contributed to the birth of a constructive and authentic network
The results “out of the oven” were as good as the work done during these two intense days: sourdough breads, traditional baguettes, olive focaccias, croissants (classic and bicolored), multi-flavored crowns, brioches, Tangzhong burger buns, brioche domes… The final buffet was a veritable festival of colors, textures, and flavors. Of course, everyone left with a “sample” of the production!
Thank you to all the participants for their presence, their competence and their enthusiasm for learning and passing on!
Special thanks to Sofia Papageorgiou of Eclair Affaire Laboratory and her team, who hosted our Masterclass in their premises, and provided us with all the equipment we needed to make it a success.
