TUSCAN PASTRY PAOLO SACCHETTI

Paolo Sacchetti is a pastry chef with more than 50 years of experience, vice president of AMPI (Accademia Maestri Pasticceri Italiani) and owner of one of the most famous patisseries in Italy, "Il Nuovo Mondo" in Prato, awarded with one of the most coveted recognitions: the Three Cakes.

With the enthusiasm of a teenager and a series of professional accolades that place him at the pinnacle of Italian pastry, Paolo Sacchetti is proud to present his course on Tuscan pastry.

Flavors, textures, balance, and harmony are the elements that characterize his desserts, where the exclusive use of the best quality ingredients, seasonal components, and respect for tradition reign supreme.

The course provides all the necessary elements for preparing some typical desserts from his region, Tuscany, from the peaches of Prato, his signature dessert, to the timeless schiacciata fiorentina, from the torta della nonna to the zuppa inglese and Prato biscuits, just to name a few.

PAOLO SACCHETTI

Paolo Sacchetti, crowned AMPI Pastry Chef of the Year in 2012 and recognized as one of the greatest masters of Italian pastry, has built his renowned business in Prato, where he runs his workshop and patisserie "New world". 

Despite being just over fifty years old, his enthusiasm for the craft is comparable to that of a teenager. Sacchetti is known for his relentless curiosity and willingness to experiment, with a strong commitment to preserving and perfecting classic Italian desserts.

He is one of the most renowned leavening experts in the country, famous for his high-quality panettone and for creating desserts that follow a no-compromise philosophy, based on the use of excellent raw materials and the revival of ancient Tuscan recipes. His son Andrea now joins his father's talent, continuing the family legacy.

Tuscany, Sacchetti's birth region, is famous for sweets like cantucci, ricciarelli, brigidini, zuppa inglese, torta della nonna, and sweet peaches, all symbols of Italian heritage around the world.

Prato's Peaches

A classic of Tuscan pastry, their shape resembles peaches and they embody a perfect balance between their constituent elements.

Caramelized Millefeuille

In this lesson, we are preparing a millefeuille. A revisited classic where a crispy, caramelized puff pastry merges with a Chantilly cream.

Raspberry Cheesecake

We'll create it with a hazelnut dacquoise base, a light layer of raspberry jelly poured between the biscuit, and a deliciously rich cheese cream.

Grandmother's Cake

Grandmother's cake is excellent both as a dessert and as a breakfast treat.

Zuppa Inglese

Despite its name potentially being misleading, it is hypothesized that the Zuppa Inglese actually originates from Tuscany.

Lemon Freshness

In this lesson, we will prepare a fresh and fragrant dessert, very suitable for the summer season.

Black Forest Cake

The Black Forest cake is a dessert very dear to Paolo Sacchetti, who has been making it since 1991 and describes it as one of his specialties

Rise Puddung

A classic Tuscan dessert. Rice pudding is a classic of Tuscan breakfasts.

Prato's Cookies

The biscuits of Prato originated from the custom of poorer farming families eating the leftover (scrap) part of the sweet loaf that the baker prepared for wealthier people. This leftover part was aptly called "cantuccio."

Schiacciata Fiorentina

The schiacciata fiorentina is a traditional Florentine dessert, typically made during the carnival period.
