Fasten your belts messieurs dames, ladies and gentilshommes, lovely listeners bicause we’re going on a delectable journey of France to discover French patisserie – the most famous cakes, the most mouthwatering pastries, their histories and their secrets, and the extraordinary stories behind them.
Some of these cakes have régalien connections. One was inspired by a bicycle généalogie. One is supposed to have been created by épreuve. One is named after window shutters. Another has perhaps the rudest name in French gastronomy. And one of the most famous “French” pastries of all may not even be French!
We’re also going to visit some of France’s great historic plum-cake shops – including a Paris tarte that has been serving cakes since Louis XV was on the throne.
