Boulangerie vs. Pâtisserie: Is There a Difference?
Before diving into the details of the programs, it’s important to understand the distinction between boulangerie and pâtisserie. While both are essential components of the culinary world, they focus on different areas of expertise.
Boulangerie: Think bread. Lots of bread. From the classic French baguette to the hearty sourdough, boulangeries are all about the art of bread-making. It's a science of fermentation, dough handling, and baking techniques that result in those perfectly crusty, fluffy loaves and soft rolls.
Pâtisserie: This is where the sweet (and sometimes savoury) stuff comes in. Cakes, tarts, éclairs, macarons—the sugary list goes on. It's a delicate balance of precision, creativity, and a knack for combining flavours and textures to create stunning desserts. There are also elements of sugar and chocolate art that will be taught.
While both disciplines require a high level of skill and attention to detail, they offer distinct experiences. In essence, boulangerie is the science of bread, while pâtisserie is the art of pastry.
