We are very grateful to Julie Sharp and Thierry Dumouchel for creating the recipes and for their invaluable help in putting together what we hope
will be a very useful resource for the professional pastry chef.

Julie Sharp
Barry Callebaut Chocolate Academy, Banbury (Technical Advisor)
Julie has spent most of her career as Executive Pastry Chef in high profile 5 star establishments around the world,
including Claridges in London, Chateau Lake Louise in Canada and Hotel Sofitel in Melbourne.
Julie’s area of expertise is mainly in the production of plated desserts and patisserie which led her to be awarded
Pastry Chef of the Year from the Craft Guild of Chefs in 2004.
As Julie comes from the pastry side, her ideas and insights are very much from the perspective of a busy pastry
chef rather than that of a professional chocolatier.

Thierry Dumouchel

an absolute dedication to artisan baking, speciality pâtisserie and
chocolate work for over 25 years.
As an expert chocolatier, he specialises in handmade artisan
chocolates, truffles and seasonal presentations and was on the
judging panel at The World Chocolate Masters in London in 2010.
In addition, Thierry is highly sought after for consultancy work and
staff training and is also a Cacao Barry ambassador and the
Cointreau® ambassador for the UK.
With so much experience from running his own business, Thierry has a firm grasp
on the importance of both productivity and cost control in the kitchen and we
have benefitted enormously from this expertise.

Tempering, Temperatures, Storage & Shelf Life

Tempering
Properly tempered chocolate is essential to ensure the following:
a. Glossy appearance
b. Good snap
c. Customary mouth-feel of chocolate
d. Good retraction from moulds
e. Optimum shelf life

However, not all chocolate or chocolate petit-four recipes need

tempered chocolate. Look out for the T mark which indicates that
a recipe involves tempering. A full discussion of how
to temper is beyond the scope of this booklet but you
can refer to the videos on our website at
www.keylink.org/instructionalvideos for a quick refresher!

Temperatures
Ideal room temperature: 18°c -21°c
Melting chocolate: 45°c
Tempering chocolate D/M/W: 32°c /31°c /30°c (typically)
Cooling chocolates: 12°c
Storing chocolates: 12°c - 20°c
Relative Humidity: <65%
Petit Fours Book:Layout 2 5/12/11 23:05 Page 5

Storage Troubleshooting Guide

Chocolates will absorb moisture, leading to sugar bloom, but they will
also absorb odours. So storing them next to chopped onions or garlic
is never a great idea! Ideally, keep a separate fridge for your
chocolates; wine coolers can be good as they have the right
temperature range but watch out for signs of excess humidity.
Alternatively, put your chocolates into air-tight containers
(eg. tupperware) or (silicon paper-lined) Gastronorm vats with
lids and then put them into the fridge. But remember, when you
remove the containers from the fridge, allow them to return to room Cold spots: These are dull stains on the Fat bloom: This is a soft, white layer of

sunlight will lead to the formation of fat bloom.

Shelf Life
Shelf life is basically determined by the free water content (AW) of
your product which in turn is affected by the precise ratio of fats,
water and solids present. Storage temperature is also very important.
However, in a hotel or restaurant environment, the emphasis is
usually on delicious and attractive, freshly produced chocolates which

conventionally instead of piping but this gives a thicker

[SCM566] or Caramelised Nibbed Hazelnuts
[SCN234B] into the chocolate before piping.
