\"Qui<\/a><\/p>\n

Last night the show “Qui sera le prochain grand p\u00e2tissier?”<\/strong> (“Who will the next great pastry chef be?”)<\/em> premiered on France 2<\/strong>, featuring a competition among 10 young pastry professionals.<\/p>\n

After the disappointment of the French version of “The Great British Bake-Off”<\/a>, I was prepared for the worst, especially since it was on public TV.<\/p>\n

I’m glad to say instead that the show was amazing<\/strong>, well done and with very talented professionals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It was done like other reality show competitions, with a narrating voice-over<\/strong> and participants explaining what they did and how they felt at the moment.<\/p>\n

\"Qui<\/a><\/p>\n

I am now used to reality shows with excessive suspense moments and people saying the same things over and over: yesterday the “Grand P\u00e2tissier” surprised me, though, because it was full of content, <\/strong>with mind-blowing desserts and with a quick pace<\/strong> all evening long.<\/p>\n

Oh, and French public television doesn’t have commercial breaks!<\/strong>\u00a0 Two hours and a half of non-stop drooling!<\/p>\n

What is “Qui sera le prochain grand p\u00e2tissier” about then?<\/h3>\n

The first of the four episodes was split in 3 parts:<\/p>\n
