30 DAYS OPEN PURCHASE
Cédric Grolet Opéra is his bakery on Avenue de l'Opéra in Paris, opened in 2019. Unlike the shop at Le Meurice, which sells his signature creations, this is somewhere you go in the morning. The queue regularly stretches around the block.
The book follows the rhythm of a day at the bakery. Viennoiserie and bread in the morning, something sweet around eleven, desserts in the afternoon.
The contents follow accordingly. Croissant, pain au chocolat, mille-feuille, tarte tatin and éclair, in other words the things people actually want to know how to make. The level is still his, but the objective is a bakery rather than a salon in a palace hotel.
That is why, of his three books, this is the one to start with. His own distinctiveness is least visible here, and that is precisely what makes it useful.
