Chef Eric Ngo teaches an Easter Egg class for the students of the Intensive Professional Program in French Pastry at FERRANDI Paris
At FERRANDI Paris, we are proud to offer our students unparalleled opportunities to learn from world-class chefs. Recently, Chef Eric Ngo, one of our esteemed pastry instructors, led an exclusive workshop for students in the Intensive Professional Program in French Pastry, focusing on the art of creating exquisite Easter eggs and fine chocolates.
Chef Ngo, known for his expertise in French pastry and his artistic approach to chocolate, guided students through an in-depth, hands-on experience. The students learned advanced techniques such as chocolate tempering, molding, and flavor pairing. Chef Ngo introduced them to two unique styles of Easter eggs. The workshop featured two unique Easter egg designs that pushed the boundaries of traditional pastry-making. One design featured a rich chocolate egg with a variety of nuts molded onto the surface, adding texture and a delightful crunch. The other was a show-stopping creation: an ornate chocolate Easter egg encasing a smaller, delicate egg inside, showcasing Chef Ngo’s skill in creating intricate and visually stunning pieces.
In addition to the Easter eggs, students also crafted a selection of fine chocolates. Chef Ngo demonstrated how to perfect bonbons and molded chocolates, focusing on the importance of using high-quality ingredients and achieving the perfect glossy finish. He also emphasized the art of pairing chocolate with complementary flavours to create unique and elevated confections.
This workshop provided students with the opportunity to refine their technical skills while gaining insights into the creativity that defines French pastry. The hands-on experience with Chef Eric Ngo gave each student the confidence to push their boundaries and experiment with new techniques in the pastry world.
At FERRANDI Paris, we are committed to providing world-class education and offering our students the chance to learn from industry leaders like Chef Eric Ngo. This workshop not only enhanced their technical abilities but also inspired them to embrace the artistry and innovation that are essential to becoming successful pastry chefs.
