Next Baking Master: Paris
Channel: Food Network (DStv 175)
TX Time: 16h05
Genre: Reality Competition, Food
Shot on location in the City of Lights and hosted by pastry chef Stephanie Boswell and French-born chef and restaurateur Ludo Lefebvre, this culinary competition gives 10 ambitious and highly-skilled American bakers access to iconic pastry shops, as well as mentoring from renowned French baking experts.
The series demands that competitors prove their mettle in the pillars of great baking and pastry: technique, artistry, flavour, innovation and inspiration.
Each week, the lowest performing baker will be sent home - until only one is named Next Baking Master.
The winner gets bragging rights, a full suite of France's top-of-the-line professional kitchen appliances and baking equipment valued at $25,000.
In the series premiere, "Cream Rises to the Top": Stephanie and Ludo welcome the bakers to Paris for their first challenge: make a dessert that represents their culinary point of view, while demonstrating their knowledge of French techniques.
The bakers are then whisked away on a field trip to the luxurious Royal Monceau Hotel to meet pastry chef Quentin Lechat, sample his delicacies and learn about a fundamental French ingredient: cream.
Once they get back to the kitchen, they must demonstrate both technique and innovation as they create one showstopping cake that features two uses of cream to determine who will be named the crème de la crème.
Upcoming episodes feature a visit to famed Jade Genin Chocolate with a lesson from Jade herself, a quintessential French soufflé challenge and a trip to Ladurée, the most iconic patisserie in the world.
