The history of French pastry goes back a heck of a long time. As far back as the 1200s they were making desserts and pastries. Puff pastry was created in 1540. Whipped cream came from France in 1660. Macarons date back to 1793. Ganache was invented in 1850. It's safe to say almost everything you love about dessert today owes the French a great debt. How everyone in that country isn't just terribly unhealthy and sticky with sugar fingers all day every day is a mystery that no one will ever be able to solve. The French just make amazing desserts.
People train their whole lives to master the fine art of French dessert making and pastries. A pastry chef, or pâtissier, can go to school and then work in a kitchen for years to perfect the craft of pastry-making. It may just be a donut to you, but it can be serious business to the French. And why not? Deliciousness is no easy task. If you feel like you know a little bit about French pastries, whether that's making them or just eating them, why not try your hand at identifying some? We bet you can't get them all. Take the quiz and see!
