Pronouncing French Pastries With A Pastry Chef | A Morning in Paris & Versailles

With all the unusual names given to French pastries, how can we avoid butchering the pronunciation of these precious bites of happiness that so many of us love? Here is the recipe! 😉📖🪄 I recently had the pleasure of meeting pastry chef Molly Wilk at her home in Versailles. Molly, a pastry chef from Texas, trained at the Cordon Bleu in Paris. She has been living in France for several years now and offers pastry-making courses online and in person. But first: Come along for a beautiful, sunny morning walk through Paris. Starting in the Marais, we'll cross over the Seine to Île Saint Louis, where I'll take you into one of my favorite Parisian bakeries. Then we'll take the train to Versailles to learn about the history behind many of these delicious treats as we go over how to pronounce them. I hope you're ready! Warning: This video may cause some to feel uncontrollably hungry. Bon appétit !
