Pastry Chef Dominique Ansel On Cronuts, Pancakes, And Life’s Sweetest Moments
Today’s guest is award-winning pastry chef Dominique Ansel, the founder of Dominique Ansel Bakeries in New York City. When the French chef came to the U.S. in 2006, he worked at Daniel Boulud’s restaurant for five years before opening his namesake bakery in SoHo. Dominique is one of the most inventive pastry chefs out there and is also the author of three cookbooks. His latest, Life’s Sweetest Moments: Simple, Stunning Recipes and Their Heartwarming Stories, was released earlier this month.
Dominique joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk all about his viral cronuts and an array of different baked goods from croissants to cookies to pancakes. Plus, the duo dive into his new book and the stories that accompany the recipes, including how Martha Stewart inspired his book cover photo and when he talked to Anthony Bourdain about heartbreak and ice cream.
