Introduction
I am asked weekly, "Why did you get into the culinary field?" Simple answer, "I never go hungry." Plus, "I make people happy."
When I get on a plane for a long trip I try not to tell the person next to me what I do or I will be hearing about how their grandmother made the best cakes. For 6 hours! Everyone has a food story. Food makes people happy. Pastry even more so. I cannot think of anything negative to say about being a pastry chef. You make birthday cakes, not death cakes. You create wedding cakes, not divorce cakes. See? It's all happy!
From my first pastry job to my last, at Disney, I am the happiest when I'm in the kitchen baking. I assure you that many of the recipes you make from this book will become family favorites. Many already have with my students!
Baking is therapeutic. It feels great to make a crust, cake or dessert from scratch. I'm the first to tell you it takes time. You won't be able to create a dessert in 5 minutes. If you're in a hurry, then by all means, purchase a dessert. If time permits, however, make some pastry. You will not only taste the difference, but you'll also know exactly what's in your finished pastry.
George Geary
