The working pastry repertoire of an award-winning culinary school, in one book.
 
The Pastry Professionals Playbook collects the recipes our chef-instructors teach in the Certificate in Pastry and Baking at La Flamme Bleue Center for Culinary Arts, Tuguegarao. These are not home recipes simplified for a blog. They are written the way a professional pastry section works: weights in grams, yields by weight, mise en place before method.

What’s inside
 
76 recipes across 11 chapters: Sauces and Creams, Cookies and Biscuits, Breads and Rolls, Cakes and Sponges, Pastries and Tarts, Puddings and Mousses, Jellies and Cold Desserts, Chocolate Desserts, Fruit Desserts, Other Desserts, and Basic Recipes
Classics and Filipino favourites side by side: creme anglaise, opera cake sponge, creme brulee, classic tiramisu, chocolate tart, pandesal, ube macapuno rolls, brazo de mercedes and more
Every recipe rated Foundational, Intermediate or Advanced, with prep, cook and total times
Doneness cues in the method, so you know when each step is done, not only how long it takes
Chef’s Notes with storage times, variations and plating guidance
A measurement and conversion reference, and a glossary of culinary and French terms
A fully linked table of contents: tap any recipe to jump straight to it

Who it’s for
Pastry students, working cooks moving into pastry, home bakers ready to work to a professional standard, and anyone considering the Certificate in Pastry and Baking who wants to see the standard before they enrol.
