Course content
This course is both on-site and online. In the online, we discuss our philosophy, the fascinating world of nutrition, the ingredients we use to create healthier pastry, such as fibers, and the texture creation techniques. What's more, you'll be able to put everything you learn into practice through 3 pastry elaborations explained and included in the online part.
During the in-person portion of the course, you’ll learn step-by-step how to create a collection of 9 pastry creations that embody our philosophy: pastry , lighter, andpastry flavorfulpastry . Through this collection, you’ll discover new technical ingredients that allow us to create healthier recipes without compromising on stability or texture.
In addition, you’ll also get to sample 8 dessert recipes during the course’s breakfast buffet, and you’ll find the full recipes in the handout that will be provided to you.
A brief introduction in which we will explain the importance of aligning pastry with a healthier lifestyle and in tune with customers’ needs. Practical examples will show us that a more nutritious and conscious pastry is possible.
We’ll review the four basic techniques for creating textures that we always use, and we’ll go over the most commonly used ingredients in our pastry.
Gluten-free and lactose-free Passion Fruit Peanut Cake. It consists of a peanut cake batter, a peanut coating, and 40% ChocoCoco, a passion fruit jelly, caramelized peanuts, and lime zest.
Gluten free Choc 'n' Raspberry. It is composed of an almond and milk chocolate bath, an almond and vanilla cake batter, a gelled raspberry compote, a 43% milk chocolate and vanilla creamy, and a 43% milk chocolate mousse.
Gluten-free and lactose-free Lemon Pie. It consists of an almond sablée, a lemon creamy and meringue.

This elaboration is full of colour and nuances - super creamy and refreshing. In its base we find a pistachio and lime crunchy, followed by a very light mango mousse that envelops a sponge cake and creamy interior, both made with pistachio and a touch of lime. We top it all off with a mango and passionfruit creamy.
- gluten free
Super fresh, slightly sour and subtly sweet - that's how we'd describe our Grecia entremets. We've paired the best Greek yogurt with different blueberry textures: a glaze, a mouse, and a compote. This all falls upon a base of noisette butter crunchy.
- gluten free | lactose free
This entremets is designed for lovers of intense dark chocolate. Given that we work with a water base, we find it has a clean, defined cacao flavor throughout all its textures, allowing the consumer to enjoy all of its nuances and aromas. It's made up of a crunchy, a sponge cake, a creamy, a mouse, and a velvet cacao finish.
- gluten free
Another version of our "Tiramisu" in cake form. The creaminess of the mascarpone, combined with the silky texture of the almonds and the rich cocoa flavor, makes this our favorite.
- gluten free | vegan
This tart reminds us of the smooth sweetness of the classic Bourdaloue, but is completely reinvented so as to offer a clean and light tasting experience. On a base of almond and cacao sablé, we find an almond frangipane cream followed by candied pear, a creamy, and a smooth chocolate mousse.
- gluten free | sugar free | vegan
Matcha lovers! This tea is the main ingredient of this creamy, crunchy elaboration. Our objective is to opt for the natural flavors and colors of the ingredients by means of a creamy and a sablé. A pleasure for the senses!
- gluten-free | lactose-free | vegan
Coffee and cacao in its truest expression, yet another favored signature flavor pairing. We use two ingredients which are very similar in terms of intensity and combine them with different textures such as a sponge cake, a creamy, and a mousse. The intense notes of chocolate and light touches of coffee create a classic full of fragrance.
- gluten-free | vegan
Citrus fruits make every dessert unique. The slightly tart and refreshing taste of calamansi, combined with the richness of the creamy hazelnut filling inside, creates a contrast of flavors that elevates this dessert from simply pleasant to truly spectacular.
In this booklet, you'll find 8 recipes from the breakfast buffet that you'll enjoy during the training: Olive oil muffins, banana bread, pistachio and raspberry cookies, peanut and passion fruit cookies, gianduja and hazelnut cookies, chocolate and hazelnut brownies, carrot cake, and chai cake.
