Ottolenghi and the Cakes of Versailles

Interesting idea but in the end you're left, pardon the pun, hungry for more! No real substance to this mediocre documentary.

"Follow celebrity chef Yotam Ottolenghi as he assembles a star-studded team of the world's most innovative pastry chefs to put on a Versailles-themed culinary gala at the Met in NYC" - This is the description on Hulu and Prime (I assume Netflix has the same one). This is not a documentary only about cakes, but also about the chefs behind the pastries and their modern spins on a historical profession. If you're looking for a documentary about cakes alone, then look elsewhere. If you're looking for a documentary about the thought process behind organizing a niche food gala, learning a little about the court of versailles, and learning about the people recruited this is for you.

Very enjoyable look at what goes into a special event like this. Not sure about the fountain and jellies.

Absolute garbage. Thrown together for a cash grab and nothing else padded out with crap interviews. I'd like to say it was a Netflix standard but that is being kind. Would have been a half ok Instagram story at best. Do not see this.

The movie all about desserts. The idea was fantastic: a happy marriage between Metropolitan Museum of Art and Royal Palace of Versailles to create desserts that were out of this world. There were five Pastry Masters joined this creative event: 1) Dominique Ansel whose cronut was such a big hit in NYC; 2) Janice Wong a pastry chef from Singaporean; 3) Dinara Kasko from Ukraine, she is specialized in making cakes from the 3D and silicon modes; 4) Ghaya Oliver who was a dessert master, working in Daniel Boulud restaurant: 5) Bompas and Parr of London, created artistic desserts with gelatin design. I was fascinated by this movie, it was not only about food, desserts, it couldn't not be any better combinations in creating an edible art; it was also about art, and life and history and everything in our life is beautiful.
