In this documentary Michel Roux takes us back to his own beginnings and explores the art, science and eternal attraction of the perfect sweet delicacy. Part history, part gastronomy but completely seductive, this film is a documentary exploration of our love affair with pastry and patisserie. From childhood favourites to incredible gravity defying greats like wedding croquembouche, and reconstructed historic pieces-montées, strange ancient recipes and incredible modern creations, Michel bears witness to the creation of sweet perfection.
