Sweet Diversions
by yann Dusytsche
Born of the notion of pastry creation as a fascinating exercise in style comes this revolutionary work, from the pen of an outstanding professional: Diversions Sucres (Sweet Fancies), a new approach to the world of pastry-making put forward by Yann Duytsche.
Yann Duytsche, a pastry cook by calling, primed by thoroughgoing training and honed by long experience in France and Spain, emerges as the great ground-breaker in the new pastry-making.
After the opening theoretical part in which the author's working method and creative philosophy is set out, along with a display of technical mastery aimed at exploring every aspect of pastry creation, Yann Duytsche presents twenty-seven fundamental associations of ingredients yielding similarly abundant elaborations on a particular aromatic trend.
This gourmet journey follows three main lines: the ingredients, the basic recipes through which ideal aromatic chains are created, and the fancies in which the best alliances are defined for the greater pleasure of the senses!
Starting from unexpected marriages of ingredients and the developments of them that follow, the author creates his Sweet Fancies (Diversions Sucres): over 80 recipes born of an interplay of aromatic interpretations that still leave room for the imagination.
A ground-breaking, utterly dazzling work destined to become a fascinating yet practical tool in the hands of all pastry professionals 416 pages. Hardcover.
