Sweet Diversions ( ISBN: 8474141338 )
The "active principle" of this work is essentially to maximize the potential of our creative capital by exploiting a large bank of basic recipes.
"Let yourself be seduced by the ingredients!" - this is Yann Duytsche's motto. Since the products themselves invite us to set out a journey of sensual delight, they are the primary source of inspiration. Accordingly, the spotlight in this book is on the ingredients, for they prompt the travel plans set out here in each of the chapters.
Taking this approach path is of great importance: an in-depth knowledge of our raw materials will enable us to understand them better and to work with them more skillfully. So the possibilites of pairing ingredients for buildinge ideal aromatic chains are explored before beginning to consider how to work on them and how to produce variations in Sweet Diversions.
Technique plays the delicate role of sublimating the ingredients without misrepresenting them, adding sophistication to the materials without overshadowing them. Though driven by the more romantic and evocative side of pastry creation, Yann certainly does not ignore technical constraints. Armed with his acknowledged meticulousness and mastery, he goes through the specifics of savoir-faire in patisserie. From the importance of painstaking care in the processes to precesion in the mix proportions and temperatures, every facet of the production work is clearly explained.
Due attention in thus given to technique, since only mastery in this field will enable us to make a success of our creations. Intuition, backed by years of experience, must guide us in finding suitable partners for each ingredient, and in deciding on the processes that will best highlight the input products we have selected.
The base recipes are the first result of this fundamental research, since they constitute the foundation on which all the diverse sweet preparations are built up - whether they be those proposed by the author, or any others that our inspiration may suggest! For indeed there is nothing rigid about the base recipes: on the contrary, they constitutea sufficiently flexible base for our imaginations to recharge itself to inspire new creative interpretations.
In each chapter of this book, the combinations brought together by Yann are first set out in the main recipe, the standard-bearer after which each chapter is named. It is this recipe that sets the play of aromatic interpretations in motion. Afterwards, that same group in ingredients are invited through masterly pastry gymnastics to adopt a range of different guises: this is how the base recipes are reinterpreted in Sweet Diversions.
