This episode - Paris, cakes and pastries - is all about taking traditional recipes and creating something new and exciting. Emmanuel travels to Paris to catch up with family and friends and catch up with the latest food trends and inspires Poh to create one of her most beautiful desserts – Rhubarb Lily Tart – it just has to be seen to be believed. Delicate lily leaves made from hazelnut and chocolate biscuit, with a delicate baked rhubarb lily in a pond of orange infused crème anglaise. It’s Poh at her creative best!
Emmanuel spends the afternoon with Denis Ruffel, one of Paris’s most respected master pastry chefs who has created a cake he has named ‘Le Papillon’ (The Butterfly) especially for Poh. It is a dome of layered decadent chocolate mousse, chocolate sponge biscuit and raspberries iced with chocolate and decorated with gold leaf, pistachio and fresh raspberries and topped with a beautiful chocolate butterfly. Complex, delicate and beautiful – just like Poh!
Paris, cakes and pastries – a celebration of traditional methods used to create beautiful new desserts for spoiling those you love.
