Frank Haasnoot's Prisma Book Launch

Frank Haasnoot, a renowned Dutch master chef, has published his first book titled "Prisma". The book uses color as a central theme, with each of the six chapters dedicated to a different color - white, yellow, green, red, purple, and black. Haasnoot chose these colors to represent different aspects of his work in pastry and used them to tie together many of his signature creations. Through "Prisma", Frank Haasnoot shares his artistic pastries and desserts as well as recipes, techniques, and advice to encourage an open and creative approach to the craft.
