Could Laetitia Milot be the exception that proves the rule?
Well, here’s a hot take: Laetitia Milot, the newest torchbearer of Best Pastry Chef, might just be the culinary unicorn we’ve all been waiting for! Since stepping into the hosting shoes previously worn by Marie Portolano, Laetitia has added yet another string to her already impressive bow. She’s a bit of a renaissance woman, isn’t she? But let’s not get too carried away; we might just need a cake to cool down this enthusiasm!
Oh, the weight of responsibility!
Now, let’s address the elephant—or shall I say the thousand-calorie dessert—in the room: the infamous reputation this show has for putting weight on its hosts. I mean, if you’re in a competition where cakes are as primary as the air you breathe, it’s harder to resist than a kid in a candy store! But Laetitia has a bold declaration: “To tell you the truth, I lost a kilo!” Yes, folks, you heard it right—she’s not just serving pastries; she’s serving up some major weight loss success!
Let’s be honest: Have I ever seen a cake I didn’t want to devour? But Laetitia has quite the restraint, apparently! I wonder if she’s spawning some secret fitness regime while critiquing cakes – perhaps it’s just a smidge of fear from the pastry chefs lurking in the wings, ready to whisk her off to bake jail for not giving their soufflés the praise they think they deserve!
Guilt-free indulgence? Yes, please!
Ah, how refreshing—a presenter who indulges without guilt! “I don’t care, actually!” You’ve got to admire her carefree spirit—living life to the fullest, one spoonful of cake at a time. And doesn’t that just tug at the old heartstrings (or taste buds)? But while I’m here dreaming of third servings, Laetitia’s got it sorted. Regular exercise? Check! An enlightened philosophy towards food? Double check! And if anything’s going to keep the scales balanced—or should I say, tilted in her favour—it’s that knowledge that guilt and cake do not mix!
All about the taste, darling
And here comes the pièce de résistance of Laetitia’s philosophy: sometimes, less is more. As her co-host Mercotte wisely pointed out, “it’s all a question of quantity.” Laetitia’s regime of nibbling just a spoonful of every masterpiece means she enjoys the flavor sans the runway model dilemma! “It’s true that sometimes I would like to eat the whole pie, but no, I don’t have to,” she confesses—and the restraint of a true dessert savant is at hand!
Recipes and resolutions
You know, there’s something delightfully generous about the French obsession with recipes—it’s how they show love. Laetitia even claimed she’s requested these dessert gods to share their secrets so she can whip them up at home. Talk about being the life of the après-bake party! It’s a splendid excuse to turn her home into a 3-star Michelin kitchen without worrying about the calorie count, which I must confess, sounds like a magical plan I’m keen to sign up for!
To sum it all up—one might say Laetitia Milot is a beacon of hope for those of us tipping the scales more than we’d like. With a spirited approach to cake, life, and happiness, she proves that you can indeed have your cake and eat it too (literally). So here’s to the exception that proves the rule—may we all find our inner Laetitia when the dessert tray rolls around!
Could Laetitia Milot be the exception that proves the rule? Since last week, October 10, the actress has been in charge of Best Pastry Chef. It was she who was chosen to succeed Marie Portolano when she left for France 2. By becoming a presenter, Laetitia Milot therefore adds a string to her bow.
However, this is not without consequences. The show is renowned for making its hosts and jurors gain weight. Was Laetitia Milot also a victim? No, she swears. “To tell you the truth, I lost a kilo!“, she tells our colleagues at TV Star. However, it is not for lack of being “a great gourmand“and of”taste all the cakes” concocted by the candidates of this 13th season.
Laetitia Milot has fun without feeling guilty
And even if she had gained weight during filming, Badri’s darling assures that it would not have been dramatic for her. “I don’t care, actually. I start from the principle that you have to live life to the fullest, in every sense of the word.“, she explains. So she has fun without feeling guilty.
It must be said that she also practices sport on a regular basis. “I gained 14 kilos during my pregnancy. If I want to lose them, I will lose them. I don’t worry about that. (…) If we feel guilty about eating a slice of cake, that’s when we gain weight“, estimates Laetitia Milot.

And then, as Mercotte reminded him, “it’s all a question of quantity“. Laetitia Milot therefore tastes all the desserts of amateur pastry chefs but sparingly. “She told me to just taste a small spoonful. That this was enough to have the taste and know what the pastry chef had produced“, explains Lyana’s mother.
And to confide: “It’s true that sometimes I would like to eat the whole pie, but no, I don’t have to.“One spoon is enough for his happiness and his taste buds.”You can appreciate things even in a spoon. And I assure you that I really appreciate them“, she insists. So much so that she even asked the pastry chefs to send her their recipes so that she could try them at home.
