The Pastry Chef's Guide: The secret to successful baking every time

Nice

There is a handful of actual recipes the rest are just building blocks like meringues and buttercreams. I want actual recipes combining all those things. This seems like a very lazy book , I guess to get the actual recipes you have to shell out over $100 for her PUFF bakery course. This woman seems like she's after your money in a serious way.It's also quiet small and has maybe a dozen pictures if that. Returned this so fast .

This is one of the best books I have bought in such a long time. Pastry is not an area of the kitchen that I knew an awful lot about before I bought this book, but in the 5 months that I have had it for it has already taught me so much and given me so much more confidence in preparing and making all things sweet. The book is seriously well written and provides so much information into the theory behind everything. I have made so many of the recipes from the book and have honestly enjoyed every single one of them. Each time I make a recipe and it turns out the way that it should do it gives me so much pleasure and excitement. The recipes are obviously seriously tried and tested because they always turn out perfect! I’m so grateful to Rav for all the skills and knowledge that I’ve gained from this book. This book is already a classic in my eyes and will forever be my go to book for Pastry reference 😃

Fabulous book, explains the science & need for precision

Good book, highly recommended for pastry lovers, especially beginners to pastry makers. Gave 4 stars because the book was a bit creased at the corners, maybe due to shipping, but it’s a good one to get.
