In today’s episode, you’ll hear from world renowned pastry chef, author, and culinary consultant François Payard. Born in Nice, he’s a third generation French pastry chef who’s worked in some of the biggest names in hospitality, including Le Bernardin (lebernardinny) and DANIEL (@restaurantdaniel) in New York City. His career was launched in Paris with Michelin Guide favorites, La Tour d’Argent and Lucas Carton.
Payard discusses what it was like as a child growing up in a family bakery, and how he was inspired to pave his own pathway into pastry. You’ll hear what he’s learned from working in some of the most revered kitchens in the world, and his perception of the evolution of pastry, and the kitchen work environment, over the past two decades. He also shares how he’s learned to balance the desire for creativity and the need to conform when you’re working for and with others.

Interview with Pastry Chef Emily Spurlin (Chicago)
That’s the problem we have in pastry, we always know how to make a large quantity. And when anybody asks me for recipes for pie, I don’t even know- I have to look at the cookbook.
As a chef, like most chefs, we like to challenge ourselves. So we can take on a lot of challenges, and that makes the difference. I don’t live in the past, I live in the future.
It’s not about how many followers you have, it’s about how many customers buy your produce.
Everything in life you learn from making mistakes, and you cannot blame anybody else for your mistake. You just have to learn and move on and that’s it.
When you work for someone, what you have to do is fit the concept. Everything has to be in energy and in synergy.
