Named one of the best cookbooks of the season by The New York Times, Chowhound, Eater, Food & Wine, Forbes, and more. Acclaimed pastry chef Dominique Ansel shares his simple, foolproof recipes for tarts, cakes, jams, buttercreams, and more “building blocks” of desserts for home cooks to master and mix as they please. Dominique Ansel is the creator of beautiful, innovative, and delicious desserts, from the Frozen S’More to the Cronut®, the croissant-doughnut hybrid that took the world by storm. He has been called the world’s best pastry chef. But this wasn’t always the case. Raised in a large, working-class family in rural France, Ansel could not afford college and instead began work as a baker’s apprentice at age sixteen. There, he learned the basics—how to make tender chocolate cakes, silky custards, buttery shortbread, and more. Ansel shares these essential, go-to recipes for the first time. With easy-to-follow instructions and kitchen tips, home cooks can master the building-blocks of desserts. These crucial components can be mixed in a variety of ways, and Ansel will show you how: his vanilla tart shell can be rolled out and stamped into cookies; shaped and filled with lemon curd; or even crumbled into a topping for ice cream. This cookbook will inspire beginners and experienced home cooks alike to bake as imaginatively as Ansel himself.
Dominique Ansel je cukrář, tvůrce inovativních, lákavých a lahodných dezertů, jako je Frozen S'more nebo cronut, hybrid croissantu a donutu. Je považován za jednoho z nejlepších světových cukrářů. Vlastní síť cukráren po celém světě. V této kuchařce poprvé uvádí svoje jednoduché, ověřené, základní recepty na koláče, dorty, sušenky, džemy, krémy a další „stavební součástky“ dezertů tak, aby je dokázal upéct doma ve své kuchyni každý. Tyto základní výrobky se mohou kombinovat nejrůznějšími způsoby: například základní těsto na vykládací koláč se může rozválet a vykrájet na sušenky; mohou se z něj upéct košíčky nebo lodičky, které se pak naplní krémem; nebo se může rozdrobit jako posypka na zmrzlinu. Kuchařka, která bude inspirovat stejně začínající i zkušené pekaře k tomu, aby pekli stejně vynalézavě jako sám Dominique.
