James Martin makes a Gâteau St Honoré French dessert for a crowd pleaser on James Martin: Home Comforts.

The St. Honoré cake is named for the French patron saint of bakers and pastry chefs, Saint Honoré or Honoratus, bishop of Amiens. This classic French dessert is a circle of puff pastry at its base with a ring of pâte à choux piped on the outer edge.

James says: “This spectacular choux confection is named after the patron saint of pastry chefs – just wait until you taste it.”
