Join Le Cordon Bleu Head Pâtisserie Chef Julie Walsh as she guides you through the techniques to make a special dish created by her to celebrate International Women's Day.
The recipe chosen also represents the moment in Le Cordon Bleu's 130 year history that Le Cordon Bleu was immortalised on the silver screen. Inspired by the 1954 romantic comedy-drama Sabrina, which stars Audrey Hepburn in the title role alongside Humphrey Bogart, Baba Sabrina is a plated dessert consisting of a jasmine infused yeast cake with wild strawberry and lime cream.
The film features young Sabrina leaving her rural hometown to attend Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, where she blossoms into a sophisticated and accomplished young woman. This inspiration leads to pairing the delicate baba sponge with the lightly perfumed jasmine tea and floral wild strawberry cream. The success of the film and its portrayal of the institute contributed to the increasing fame of Le Cordon Bleu worldwide.
