MEET YOUR
INSTRUCTOR

World Pastry Champion, Frank Haasnoot, has over 25


years of experience working as a pastry chef for several
renowned brands across the globe. He is one of the best
pastry chefs in the world thanks to his grandmother
who urged him to do a two-year stint as a patissier — it
was that two-year stint that set the foundation of his
love and passion for pastry and would propel him to
success.

We don’t want to go easy way,
the easy way will always give
you the same results.
Frank Haasnoot

Throughout his career, Frank has competed and won jobs, teaching and developing his work freely, for any

many national and international pastry competitions; pastry and chocolate-related project with his unique,

It was a win in his home, the Netherlands, that contemporary and stylish touch.

launched him to fame and resulted in him working

high-end jobs in New York (La Tulipe Dessserts),

Kuwait (the Victorian), Taiwan (Mandarin Oriental

Hotel) and Hong Kong (the Peninsula Hotel).

After several Dutch competitions, he decided it was

time to compete on an international level, being

crowned World Chocolate Masters 2011 in Paris. His

breathtaking showpiece named “Warrior”, entirely

sculpted out of chocolate during the competition

shows an Aztec warrior in the quest for cacao in the

jungle — perfectly balanced in a way that only the best

chocolatiers can achieve.

One of the most talented pastry chefs in the world,

he is renowned for his fresh, glamorous, unique,

and extremely sophisticated work that offers a mix

of original, curated, and creative pastries. His high

standards, elegant touch, and vision have solidified

his reputation in the pastry world and with those who

have enjoyed his creations.

Multi-talented Haasnoot has also released Prisma,

a pastry book created within the concept of six

colors. Each color chapter contains eight products

accompanied by recipes, colorful photography, and

stories about the chefs’ past, present, and future

endeavors.

Since his return to the Netherlands, he has divided

his time between masterclasses and consultancy

GELATIN &
GELATIN MASS

Gelatin mass can be prepared for one recipe or in bulk
Gelatin Strength:
for several recipes at once.
The recipes in this workbook are based on gelatin

powder/leaves of 200 bloom (gold).


examples:
If the recipe requires 48g of gelatin mass, divide 48g
Gelatin Powder by 6 = 8. Therefore, we need 8g of gelatin powder and

40g of water to create 48g of gelatin mass.


Gelatin Mass Proportions:
In terms of proportions, all recipes are based on a If the recipe requires 72g of gelatin mass, divide 72g
ratio of 1:5 (gelatin powder to water). by 6 = 12. Therefore, we need 12g of gelatin powder

and 60g of water to create 72g of gelatin mass.

26
For example, let’s look at a recipe that requires 48g of

gelatin mass in the proportion 1:5. According to the

previous calculations, this will require 8g of gelatin

powder and 40g of water. That means you’ll need

8g of leaves for the recipe. Make sure to follow the

bloom calculations for the leaves as well.

Gelatin Mass Proportion and Process


for Gelatin Leaves:
1. Prepare the gelatin leaves and cold water in a ratio

of 1:5.

2. In a bowl, mix the leaves and water and leave for

10 minutes.

3. Slowly melt the mixture in a microwave at 60°C.*

4. Pour onto a tray or into a container to a low height

of 1–2cm and allow to set for 15–20 minutes in the

fridge.

5. Place the gelatin mass on a cutting board and cut

into small cubes of 1–3cm.

6. Use right away or store in an airtight container in

the fridge.

*chef’s comment: don’t apply the method of squeezing

water from the leaves; instead, place the leaves with

water into the microwave.
