Patisserie Made Simple: From macaron to millefeuille and more Kindle Edition

Discovered this author completely by chance and am now completely captivated by him. I started reading the recipes and immediately felt compelled to have a go! His writing style is informal but informative and made me think I could be successful with his recipes. I also loved the photographs of both the bakes and the images of France. A delightful, delicious delicacy!

The title is accurate; these recipes do simplify pastry-making to a level that most good home bakers can handle. Some of it can be challenging; kouigh-amann is not something you undertake lightly. Still, this book would be a good way to move your baking t the next level, without the kind of financial or preparatory commitment required by a book like "On Baking" (which I also recommend, FWIW).Keep in mind that this is a British book and its measurements are in metric weights. Honestly, these recipes call for the kind of precision that wouldn't work any other way. Still, I know how some people feel about that, so be aware.

This book had a lot of stories about how each recipe came about. It had tips at the end of each recipe. There were beautiful pictures to show how each recipe should look. This is truly a beautiful book.

I can't wait yo start making these recipes. The procedures are easy to follow and you will find great photos.I definitly recommend it!

Wonderful recipes

Love his blog, so this book is unsurprisingly amazing to me. The photos are beautiful and 95% the recipes are ones that people would actually make.

Great recipes, just as I wanted. I just wish it included conversion charts so it can be used with US measuring devices.
