Transcript

00:00With the Olympics happening right now in France, most people like myself, we can't go to Paris.

00:26So don't worry, I got you guys covered because we're bringing Paris here in Manila with my

00:30dream of flavors.

00:32So learn French cuisine, pastries, and culture right here with me.

00:37Meet Chef Chesca, a pastry chef based in Monte Carlo, France, who recently brought her love

00:42of French pastries to Manila.

00:45I'm so excited today for my segment.

00:47I'm here with Chef Chesca.

00:49She's going to teach me how to make French pastries.

00:51As a baker myself, a home baker, not professional, I know chef pastries are very hard to make.

00:57So we are going to learn why it's hard to make and how to do them.

01:02Today Chef Chesca is teaching me how to make eclairs.

01:06For the eclairs, you only need a few ingredients, flour, butter, and eggs.

01:12This is actually the most important part in doing eclairs or pâte à choux, the drying

01:19stage.

01:20And yeah, so you have to do it and then out of the fire, and then you really have to mix.

01:26You need your muscles here.

01:27Ah, okay.

01:28I could think right now.

01:29Yes.

01:30And then you really have to dry it out because you have to cook the starch in our flour.

01:37Inside the mixing bowl with the paddle attachment.

01:40So just dump it in?

01:42Ah, yeah.

01:43This is how it is.

01:45Okay.

01:46And then we're going to start to mix it.

01:50After we make the dough, we can start piping the eclairs and bake them.

02:04You guys think you can do this?

02:06Because it's kind of hard, but I think I'm good at it.

02:20Not only does Chef Chesca make authentic French pastries, she has some with a Filipino twist,

02:31and that's what you're seeing us make here with these calamansi eclairs.

02:36And for the finale, we decorate the eclairs.

02:39I took this opportunity to ask Chef Chesca a few questions as well.

02:43So tell me more about your French pastries with a Filipino twist.

02:47I'm so intrigued.

02:48So the usual is like a lemon, right?

02:51So I'm trying to fuse everything with the local market.

02:55So what we have here.

02:56So since we have calamansi here in the Philippines.

03:00How did you come up with Mon Rêve Paris?

03:03I've been in France for 10 years, and then I worked there.

03:06And it's really been a dream of mine to open up my own dream shop.

03:12I said, why not my dream, which is Mon Rêve in French.

03:16And then, people are having a hard time with Mon Rêve this summer.

03:21So I'm branding with Mon Rêve Paris.

03:23So it's basically my dream of Paris.

03:26We offer actually not just French pastries here in Mon Rêve.

03:30We actually offer different flavors around the globe.

03:35And now we've come to my favorite part of the segment where we actually get to try what I created.

03:41And today we made calamansi meringue eclairs.

03:45Just look how beautiful this is.

03:47And I'm actually going to eat it in front of you all.

03:52Oh my gosh.

03:55I have no words, guys.

03:56The calamansi, the asim goes perfectly with the creamy and sweet meringue.

04:02So delicious.

04:03This has been Monique Tuzon from the National TV Network for a new and better Philippines.
