Apple Soufflé, Chocolate Fondant & The Story of Carême | Glamour Puds S2 Ep1 with Eric Lanlard

In this very special episode of Glamour Puds, I pay tribute to the man who started it all — Antonin Carême, the godfather of modern pâtisserie. Join me as I retrace the journey of the world’s first celebrity chef, from the streets of revolutionary Paris to the grand palaces of Europe. To honour Carême’s legacy, I recreate several of his most iconic desserts — each with my own twist, naturellement. At Le Gavroche, I serve up a light and elegant apple soufflé with salted caramel, earning the approval of none other than Michel Roux Jr himself. Back home, I whip up a decadent chocolate fondant with orange compote, and a heart-shaped frozen Vacherin Glacé crowned with fresh berries. But the pièce de résistance? A towering, architectural pièce montée, inspired by Carême’s elaborate sugar sculptures, delivered to the Royal Academy for a one-night-only banquet celebrating his extraordinary legacy. No pressure… Whether you're a student of pastry history or simply a lover of desserts, this episode is for you.
