Can’t decide between Basics to Baker, Introduction to Patisserie, or Essential Bread & Patisserie? Hear more from our pastry mentor, Louisa.
Deciding between a delicate choux bun and a perfectly crisp puff isn’t easy — and neither is choosing the right baking or patisserie course. We sat down with Louisa Bergese, Leiths Online’s expert pastry mentor, to explore the differences between our baking and patisserie courses — and to hear her advice on choosing the course that best matches your skills and ambitions.
