    I remember Eunji from the days of "Qui sera le meilleur patissier", a french pastry competition which was televised. I was gutted when she lost in the finals due to her lack of leadership despite her pastry being better than the other finalist. Today, I am so happy to see how far she has made it. And if I am not mistaken, the logo of Lysee is that of a dessert that she presented during the competition to 11 iconic French pastry chefs for which they could not stop praising her. It was a turning point for her and we can tell why. Good on you Eunji!!

    She and her husband are not just excellent at what they do, but you see them radiate with joy and *gratitude* to be able to do what they do. Such a delight to watch. Gratitude I think is such an underrated element in doing things excellently and in love. Thank you for this!

    My inspiration. I was going through a rough patch in school as I just finished my culinary class with a C and was vastly behind compared to my peers. I need to find an Esther Choi, David Chang, and a Roy Choi equivalent to the pastry world. Enter Eunji Lee. She decided at 14 that she wanted to be a pastry chef, left her native home of Korea to train in some of France’s top culinary schools and hotels, worked at Jungsik, a Michelin Star restaurant, and finally opened up her own shop. I would love to stage and have a mentorship with her. But we will see.

    I wish that more of us here embrace the fine pastry shop concept as much as other nations. Laduree brought this concept to the US over 10 years ago but didn't really take off...and THEY are the master of "haute couture" pastry (look up Marie Antoinette Rose/Raspberry cake). They, as of today, are only still situated in major cities of the US. Japan has embraced this concept and can find fine pastry shops everywhere. I'm glad that Lysee is courageous because of her dream and passion in tapping into this market niche that may or may not be lucrative.

      @rizu8517 9 месяцев назад +1

      Honestly Laduree is over-hyped. There are many better pastry shops in Paris that do macarons better but that's not the point. I think the issue is that Americans generally don't really have an appreciation or understanding of the intersection of high-brow creativity and food culture. Aside from a handful of cities, places like this wouldn't be appreciated over a classic apple pie or donut.

    1:45 French isn't my first language but I don't think "biscuit" means "cake". This seems to be based on a misconception around a sponge cake which is called "biscuit". Alternatively I found in the french dictionary, biscuit was defined as "gateau sec" which means "dry cake"

    • @anhthynguyen9253
