Pastry making is an art that I never really had an interest in until I went to cooking school. It's there that I learned to make different types of pastry – sweet, savoury and the famously scary puff. Of course the perfectionist in me wanted to do the best job I could. Well, it turns out I can’t make a very good puff pastry – but I find it comforting to know that many great chefs have shared that they can’t either. Thank goodness.
