Plant-Based Pastry Courses

Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts Offers a New Six-Week Course

— September 23, 2024 — Lifestyle
The rise of plant-based desserts has gained momentum as innovative alternatives on the market now rival the performance of traditional butter and dairy, and Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts debuted a new standalone plant-based pastry course. Foundations of Plant-Based Pastry 1 is a six-week course for students who want to explore the fundamentals of making plant-based pastries and working with plant-based ingredients.

As part of the course led by Escoffier pastry arts chef instructor and plant-based baking professional Sarah Jardine, students will learn basic pastry techniques, the science of ingredient interactions and how to balance flavors and textures.

In 2021, Escoffier launched its first-ever Plant-based Culinary Arts Degree and Diploma programs. This new source focuses on desserts and pastry items like cookies, pastries, pies, tarts and puddings.
Trend Themes

2. Rise of Vegan Desserts - With plant-based desserts rivaling traditional options, there's a growing consumer demand for innovative vegan sweets that imitate the taste and texture of their dairy counterparts.
3. Flavor and Texture Innovation in Plant-based Baking - Advancements in plant-based ingredients are enabling bakers to achieve new heights in flavor and texture, pushing the boundaries of traditional vegan dessert offerings.
Industry Implications
1. Culinary Education - Culinary schools and programs are expanding their curricula to include plant-based courses, addressing a growing interest in vegan cooking and baking.
2. Plant-based Food Products - The market for plant-based food products is expanding rapidly, with innovative dairy-free and butter-free ingredients catering to specialized culinary needs.
3. Vegan Bakery Businesses - Vegan bakeries are witnessing growth as they adopt advanced plant-based recipes and techniques that appeal to health-conscious and environmentally aware consumers.
