With Opéra Pâtisserie, Cédric Grolet — hailed as the World’s Best Pastry Chef — returns to the roots of French baking in a book dedicated to boulangerie-style classics and everyday indulgences. Inspired by the opening of his Parisian pastry shop near Opéra Garnier, this beautifully photographed volume invites readers to rediscover the comforting pleasures of French pastry through Grolet’s creative lens.
Unlike his haute couture desserts from palace kitchens, this book embraces accessible and soulful recipes including croissants, tarte Tatin, mille-feuille, éclairs, madeleines, biscuits, sorbets, and more. Across 100 recipes and full-color visuals, Grolet reimagines bakery staples with technical precision and a refined aesthetic.
Organized by the rhythm of the day — 7 a.m. viennoiseries, 11 a.m. pastries, 3 p.m. desserts and frozen fruits, and 5 p.m. breads — Opéra Pâtisserie serves as both an inspiring cookbook and a practical guide for pastry lovers of all skill levels.
Whether you're a professional pastry chef or an ambitious home baker, this book is an essential addition to any modern pâtisserie library.
