While Dominique Ansel is globally famous for his genius invention of the Cronut – a literal and viral sensation that still generates daily lines down the street some five years after its birth – that creation is merely the highest profile weapon in the chef’s considerable culinary arsenal.
The French-born, New York-based pastry specialist is a serial originator, putting his relentless creativity to effect at his Dominique Ansel Bakery café-shops in New York, Tokyo and London, as well as at the bakery-restaurant hybrid Dominique Ansel Kitchen in Manhattan.
His creations include: the Frozen S’more – vanilla ice-cream wrapped in salted chocolate encased in honey marshmallow that is then torched to order; the Cookie Shot – a warm cookie shaped as a shot glass filled with vanilla-infused cold milk; an original take on a traditional Breton bun called Dominique’s Kouign Amman (DKA); a filled-choux indulgence called Paris-NY; the popular Christmas Morning Cereal and many more.
