I loved how unique this class is!
Learn a lot of things about whipped ganache, glaze and Algerian flavors. Can’t wait to make the Parisian flan recipe. All the flavor combinations used in the desserts are very different from what I’m used to work with but can wait to try them.
Amazing flavor!
Fantastic course, recipes. It went beyond my expectations!
