More Information

Preparing desserts like a top-notch pastry chef: Kay Baumgardt uncovers the secret recipes of 50 masterpieces. They can be prepared in a regular kitchen with no need for complicated machines or technology. Desserts unplugged. The renowned pastry chef explains how he uses his favourite ingredients, be it strawberries or chocolate, buckwheat or stalk celery, to devise unique creations. These include classics such as cheesecake but also surprising novelties like bacon ice cream with chocolate crumble and field salad cream. Herb oils also play an important role: Baumgardt loves the complexity achieved with the help of bitter and floral aromas. That is why he dedicates a separate chapter to this topic, just as he does to the topics of fermentation and natural methods of sweetening. This book will turn you into a true dessert expert.
