Decadent, luxurious, opulent and enticing - properly prepared pastry goods are more than just food. They bring joy, excitement and romance to an occasion. Yet there is something secret about the craft of the patisserie chef. Working with precise detail and exceptional margins, an effective patisserie section can add immense value and attraction to a kitchen operation. The ingredients are challenging, the expectations of customers are high and the popularity of a good patisserie chef is based on an understanding of heat and ingredients that goes well beyond the knowledge of a normal cook.
