Spanish Master Pastry Chef Class in Chicago

Posted by Mary Luz Mejia Apr 15, 2009

The French Pastry School of Chicago will be hosting two of Spain’s (and indeed the worlds) Master Pastry Chefs- Paco Torreblanca and Oriol Balaguer. The lucky attendees to this demo and workshop (for professionals and lucky food enthusiasts who either live in Chicago or can get there) will take place this June 26^th and 27^th, 2009. Once you see what these two men can do, you may agree that the French have nada on the Spanish!

The two day demo will see both chefs alternating over the course of the workshop, and they’ll be joined by Chicago’s own Rick Bayless (of Frontera Grill and Topolobampo) who will prepare multi-course lunches for participants, just so you can keep your energy up! Having eaten at both establishments, I can vouch that the meals will be fabulous, and Mexican-inspired, which is after all what Bayless is best known for.

I could list the glowing accolades of both Master Pastry Chefs here, but instead, I suggest you go to their websites to be awed and wowed. The kinds of pastries and confections these men create is some of the most luxurious, beautiful pieces of edible art you’ll ever see anywhere. They’re an inspiration to anyone who wants to practice the craft, or like me- admires those who can.
