French Pâtisserie: Master Recipes and Techniques from the Ferrandi School of Culinary Arts

Excellent manual with a lot of explanations and tips. Highly recommended.

Perfect!!

My book broke into pieces

Başucu kitabı niteliğinde, çok ayrıntılı, profesyonel içerik.

Excellent Pastry Book with lots of beautiful pictures in clearly explaining the techniques that makes pastry making an easy to understand and to follow. I have lots of good pastry books and this one is pretty much the top of the list. I strongly recommend. A MUST have. If you. have a passion in pastry making.

First The size. It's big and heavy and pretty impractical in that respect. Not easy to use in a small kitchen. Otherwise, a fantastic practical guide to makeing beautiful patisserie at home. It has enough about technique and equipment, without padding out the book, which is mainly made up of recipes. There are pictorial guides to the basic recipes then more written description for the more accomplished recipes. The recipes are at 3 different levels, one a french classic to get you started, two a more interesting one and three a very fancy one for those who want to take thier patisserie to the pro-level. Each recipe has a gorgeous illustration,to inspire you and so you can see what look you are aiming for You can of course dive in where it takes your fancy. Theres classics like macarons and apple pies, as well as beautiful chocolate cakes and a small section on sugar and candy. Its designed around a degree programme at Ferrand school, so theres plenty to go at for many years as a home baker.

clear, concise and plenty of step by step guide. great book.

must have book for any pastry chef....excellently authored!!! highly recommend it over any celebrity chefs ....
