Pastry Chefs for an Afternoon
Authored By:
Paris is known for the amazing museums with priceless art and sculptures, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and of course pastries!
When you visit France, you shouldn't be on a diet! Don't deprive yourself of the sweet, heavenly pastries that are found everywhere in the boulangeries and patisseries.
Our students spent an afternoon learning how to make chocolat fondant (chocolate lava cake) and tarte aux fraises déconstruite (deconstructed strawberry tart). Some of the new vocabulary they learned while baking; goûter (to taste), le goût (the taste), la gramme (gram), le chapeau (the top of the strawberry), la tranche (slice), farine (flour), la fleur (flower). The chef instructors were excellent and very impressed with the level of French and comprehension of our students.
The students really enjoyed this afternoon workshop. Hopefully they will make these sweet treats for their families and friends when they return to the US!
