Rather than eliminating sugar, butter, or flour, Bau promotes using them wisely and sparingly, without sacrificing flavor, texture, or elegance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eThrough a blend of culinary artistry and scientific insight, this book redefines what it means to create pastry in the modern age. Bau's concept of \"gourmandise raisonnée\" focuses on quality ingredients, seasonal produce, and a mindful approach to proportions. It is a call to innovate within the tradition, giving pastry professionals a framework to create lighter, more balanced desserts that retain all the pleasure of classic patisserie.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eInside, you'll find over 60 refined recipes that reinterpret time-honored favorites and present entirely new creations—each one rich in flavor, crafted with intention, and designed to surprise and delight.

Every dish is a testament to Bau’s belief: pastry can be both irresistible and reasonable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eWith contributions from Pierre Hermé and a structure that guides you through the theory, tools, and application of Reasoned Gourmandise, this book is not just a recipe collection—it’s a new standard for contemporary patisserie.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e English\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e Frédéric Bau\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e 336\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003ePublished:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e 2021\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e 2.1 kg\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eSkill Level: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eProfessional\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e Over 60 recipes + base preparations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eIdeal for:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e Pastry chefs, culinary educators, and modern dessert creators\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"So Good","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51176296251677,"sku":"BK058","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/5420\/2909\/files\/BK058_20_large_0f83756d-9ebe-443d-9a92-be76f0cd45b3.jpg?v=1776340913","url":"https:\/\/www.homechocolatefactory.com\/products\/reasoned-gourmandise-frederic-bau","provider":"Home Chocolate Factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
