The Quintessential Parisian Experience!
The order of the book flawlessly executes the author's approach: reveal Parisian culture through its bakeries and pastries. The establishments featured in the book are adroitly described, allowing the reader to appreciate their institutional status as well as the cultural significance of their recipes. I have thoroughly enjoyed preparing several of the recipes. Many of the recipes are more appropriate for those with a skilled touch; those with little experience in the French kitchen might better relegate this book to the coffee table, where many a guest of mine has relished in its exquisite photography and warm prose.
Great!
I have tried most of the bread receipes and all turned out brilliant. The French Baguette wasn't like the one you buy in France, but it was still v. good. The Courgette and Tomato Quiche was wonderfull. I have only tried to make The Royale (Chocolate) and Plenel unfortunately none of them turned out well- had to throw them away.
Pain au raisin- very good. I advise you to buy this book just for the pastries and breads- not sure about the desserts recettes.
The best baking book I have
This is without a doubt the best baking book I have and I have at least 20. I learned about from a professional pastry chef who said it is her favorite and I must agree.
