So where does ‘invented’ puff pastry come from?

Wow? France, where it is called pâte feuilletée. It was invented in 1645 by Claudius Gele, a pastry cook apprentice.

To this day, puff pastry is extremely important and constitutes a basis for a lot of French pastries. The technique is quite complicated to master and the preparation requires a lot of precision in order for the result to be ideal.

Watching Christian make this over these last 8/9 days makes me really appreciate it.
From rolling to folding to marking the folds with fingers, is time consuming with the resting time needed. So much time & patience needed.

I had never heard of invented puff pastry?
I love it even now I understand the process.
Great story to go with the collage. Well done.

A fabulous sequence and shots and great narrativ.

I used to make it many years ago when none was available to buy in Tokyo. Now I obviously buy it when needed.
