Michael Roux's Finest Deserts
Super book full of delicious puds but if you have a copy of Michael Roux's book 'Desserts- a life-long passion' DO NOT BUY as this is the same book!

A wonderfull professional cooking book for cooking fans.
It was one of those very lasy weekends which I had the time to read some newspapers, and there it was - a short enthusiastic review about an unusual baking book. As a baking fan it made me curious - after all you don't read such a good review about a cooking book. Coocking books has become a matter of fashion - so I got the book. And I don't regret. This is not just "another" recipe book, this is a professional book written in common language. For the first time in my life I didn't need to "guess" the next step or the duration of a procedure. Michele Roux does not leave the reader in the dark - everything is there, quantities (accurate ones), procedures and techniques (professional...), and unusual marvelous recipes. All I needed to do is follow carefully after the instructions. Though everything is written and clarified, it still requires some practice. The final procedures are mostly a compound of few basic ones. It took me one cake to practice the basics but it was worth it. I think it's an important milestone in every baking fan's way, it was so for me. Michele Roux has done a wonderful job.
