Photo by Petr Ganaj - Wild strawberries have such a unique flavour but they do not grow everywhere, and not always in the necessary quantity! Chef Yann Blanchard to the rescue!

Creating a flavour palette naturally!

What do you do when you want the specific flavour from a fruit that you can not find in North America + you want a small carbon footprint + affordable costs for your customers?


You get creative!

Getting inspired by the concept from Luigi Biasetto, member of Relais Desserts who designed a recipe made of natural ingredients for a vanilla flavour profile, Yann decided to find a natural way to have a  wild strawberry flavour he always loved.

After brainstorming around memories & experiences from childhood and beyond, the recipe started to take form.

As seen in our Mother’s Day dessert of 2024.

Indulge in authentic French pastries and cakes at Yann Haute Patisserie in Calgary. Located on 23 Avenue Southwest in a charming yellow house, our bakery offers macarons, Tiramisu, Mille Feuille, birthday cakes, baguettes, croissants, and chocolates. Catering to dietary needs, we provide gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and vegan options.

After some trials and research we were able to obtain a flavour very close to the profile of wild strawberry by using diiferent fruit, berries & spice.

 

Who would have thought? It is so amazing how different natural elements combined together can remind us of our childhood memories!
