PARIS, Nov 23 — The French chef responsible for creating one of the world’s most famous contemporary pastries, the Cronut, is sharing his trade secrets in a series of online video tutorials.
Chef Dominique Ansel is the latest celebrity chef to join MasterClass, the educational online platform taught by all-star instructors.
In a series of 17 online video tutorials, Ansel teaches students “The Art of French Pastry” including how to make madeleines, pastry cream, jam, mini meringues, a biscuit base for chocolate cake, and ganache fillings for chocolate bonbons.
Ansel is the first pastry chef to join MasterClass, which already boasts a roster of top food and chef instructors like Gordon Ramsay, Thomas Keller and Alice Waters.
Based in New York City, Ansel shot to fame after creating the hybrid donut-croissant mash-up, the Cronut, which attracted snaking lines outside his New York City bakery and made him a household name.
Along with New York, he has bakeries in Tokyo, London and Los Angeles.
The class is US$90 (RM377.64). — AFP-Relaxnews
