[BOOK - Do you know Jimmy Griffin? And his book The Art of Lamination? ] Griffin's of Shop Street

Throughout the history of Lesaffre bakery competitions, we were happy to meet Jimmy Griffin, artisan baker in Galway, Ireland, on several occasions. Candidate for the Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie (Bakery World Cup), member of the juries for the 2008 Bakery World Cup, the Louis Lesaffre Asia Cup 2010, the Bakery Masters 2014, President of the jury for the Bakery World Cup 2016 and finally Technical Presenter during the last Bakery Masters 2018! What a career path for the man who is now Lecturer in Culinary Arts at the University of Dublin, and author of the book The Art of Lamination which bakers all over the world praise!

”To build a good house, it must first have a solid foundation! The same principles apply when making laminated pastry products. “ This is how Jimmy describes his book. As an international competitor, lecturer, businessman and international jury member, Jimmy has witnessed the work of exceptional craftsmen and carefully documented procedures and practices.
This book will serve as an essential guide for students, bakers, pastry chefs, home bakers and hobbyists. Included detailed process notes for both commercial bakers using mechanical sheeters and home bakers and students, who want to make laminated pastry at home.
