Six different types of mini sweet bites made with traditional and unconventional approaches.
An interesting feature of this course is the opportunity to learn about the work methodology of Xavi Donnay and the Lasarte restaurant team. You will see how the preparation processes ensure that each petit four is served to the client in optimal conditions, discover all the previous preparation stages, and understand how to make the workflow more efficient.
In terms of techniques, you will learn how to spray with velvet and use a spray gun inside a mold, with each method offering a different finish. You will also see how to standardize pâte à choux, ensuring it is always the same shape and size. We will prepare classic glazes, in addition to natural glazes, without artificial colors or gelling agents of animal origin.
You will see the potential of a dessert with many different textures: cream, mousse, velvet and glaze. Any social event requires keto or flourless and gluten-free recipes and here Xavi Donnay offers a gianduja in the shape of Madeleine, and a white chocolate rocher.
