Yann Couvreur's Pastry

The first book from pastry prodigy Yann Couvreur. Yann, the rising star of Parisian pastry, was initially trained at the Trianon Palace in Versailles, then became the pastry chef of the luxury hotels Eden Rock Saint-Barthelemy, Le Burgundy, and Prince de Galles. In May 2016 he opened his first pastry shop in Paris, near the Canal Saint-Martin, and another in June 2017 in Le Marais. He now has branches all over the capital. He has also opened shops internationally in Miami, Dubai, Seoul, Riyad and Doha. Dominique Ansel, the French pastry chef in NYC, and creator of the famous Cronut, a croissant-donut hybrid, says of Yann Couvreur in his introduction to the book:'It takes a great deal of precision and scientific knowledge to be a pastry chef. At the same time, to create a truly appealing dessert, one must embrace romance, beauty, and the carefree pleasure of something sweet and decadent. It's this balance of science and art that makes Yann an exceptional pastry chef. He works with flavours from a perspective that has become his unique style and signature. The pages of this book are filled with both detailed and delicious recipes through which, I hope, Yann will inspire many future pastry chefs and encourage them to feel the same passion we share.'This modern and elegant book reflects the visual identity of his shops, including his fox mascot, and contains 80 recipes, mostly sweet but with some savoury dishes as well.
