Inspiration

Monday 4 April 2011

Paulina Abascal is a Mexican patisserie Chef who is recognise worldwide and since I've started my course I've looked at her work as a source of inspiration.
I love the way she combines the techniques she learned in France and the amazing flavours from Mexico, it's the perfect combination. Her book "Larousse de Los Postres" is amazing and really helps me see different things in patisserie.
Here's a passage from the book that I really liked and inspires me even more to do what I love the most.

Desserts are a gift, hapiness that can be shared, full of imagination and charm for all sences.
Through desserts emerge emotions, tastes, smells forgotten or new. Worlds are dicovered through their textures. Desserts truely reflect our history and escence; and with the person that cooks, he/she doesnt do it alone: he/she is surrounded by past generation, with all its knowledge and its advice, the knowledge aquired with exprience and the spirit that leads to experiment and create.
