COOKING CHALLENGE

The COOKING CHALLENGE has a taste for the unexpected! It will see pairs take up the challenge of pastry-making.

It will take place in two phases:

PHASE 1: THE REMOTE COOKING CHALLENGE, FROM 28/03 TO 28/04

• Here’s your 1st challenge: form your team
• You’ll be making your own pastry on the theme of ‘Back to childhood’, which you’ll reinvent in your own way, and you’ll give it an original name.
• Send us photos of the work in progress and of the final result of your pastry creation.
• Keep your fingers crossed as you await the selection by a jury.
• Interested in taking up this pastry challenge? Find all the details here.

 

PHASE 2: THE COOKING CHALLENGE, THE GRAND FINAL, SATURDAY 3/05 , FROM 2PM TO 5PM

The 2 best teams will have to prepare a classic French pastry, in front of the public, in the center of our gallery.
