What you will learn

In Spain, nougat (turron) is eaten all year round, but is especially popular during the festive season. In this online course, creative pastry chef David Gil, will show you the techniques you need to make classic nougat and more modern interpretations. If you have visited Spain, you may already be familiar with classics, such as ‘Jijona’ (a soft turron made with honey and nuts), ‘guirlache’ (a hard turron made with almonds and caramel), and ‘yema’ (with a layer of caramelized egg yolk). The world of ‘turrones’ reaches beyond the traditional sugar, egg white and nut creations that are most commonly associated with nougat. In this course you will find recipes that also feature chocolate ganache, gianduja, fruit pastes, and more.
