The Fundamentals of French Pastry Making
A French pastry is a sophisticated confectionery that has been in popular demand since its humble beginnings centuries ago. Unofficially voted as the most delectable sweets in the world, buttery croissants, custard and fruit tarts, and chocolate filled parties are known the world over.
French pastries were first invented to be a sweet treat after a hearty meal to replace the ordinary cheese and fruit samples usually served.
Unlike the basic boxed desserts many are accustomed to, French pastries require specific types of fresh ingredients, baking methods, cooking temperatures, and kitchen equipment. A dedicated chef uses their own knowledge and experience to use the shape, texture, and appearance of the pastry to determine the perfect outcome.
Bartholomew Bakery: Mastering the Art of French Pastries
Bartholomew Bakery is the brain child of two professional chefs.
Anthony Lavorato began his love for the art of pastry making during his culinary studies in Italy. Hands-on learning with some of the world’s best pastry chefs and bakers in Europe catapulted Anthony to find his passion in the baking world.
His partner-in-the kitchen Michael Sinikas also discovered his own passion for all food during his early days of working in the hospitality industry as a teenager. He studied culinary and began his career in the south of France where he quickly immersed himself into the world of Europe’s finest foods.
