The Baking and Pastry Excellence Video Series
The CIA's Baking and Pastry Excellence Program is a documentary series that seeks out the world’s best bakers and pastry chefs. Through these experts we explain techniques and flavor dynamics within their cultural contexts, and add them to a growing online video library that effectively preserves these traditions for our industry and future generations of bakers, pastry chefs, cooks, food writers and culinary enthusiasts.
