Review Summary: if you have good memory of paris do not buy this book
Review: please my memory of paris is not of burnt products,picture after picture of charred items ,please no french person in their right mind would allow such pictures of their beloved food to be shown in such a way,i have spent a lot underline lot of money on books and as a chef myself feel very strongly on the subject if you have no knowledge about a product you have no right no right to produce a book on a subject which clearly shows you know nothing about,this is definitly the worst book i have ever bought,i would not even atempt to recreate the supposed recipes,i do not trust the author and would not like to waste my product or time

Review Summary: Feast for the Eyes
Review: The high quality patisseries of Paris are an extraordinary visual treat and their patisserie would be a deadly addiction were it not so rich (and expensive). Unless you employ help in the kitchen, this book should be viewed as a tour of the top Paris cake shops rather than a recipe book . In trying to recreate the gateaux in this book you might lose the will to live. Home bakery is for me half the fun of creation and half the fun seeing it disappear but this book is about art.
I've also long held the suspicion that some of the awe inspiring creations are given stability and attenuation of taste by the inclusion of tallow, just as they use lard in their best croissants I think certain all butter patisserie could collapse under its own weight or leave you with heartburn. I will now go into hiding.

Review Summary: Great!
Review: 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.

Review Summary: Beautiful to Behold!
Review: This book is worth possessing for its sheer beauty alone. The presentation on glossy paper and photographs are glorious, and cannot fail to impress. I haven't yet had the time to test out any of the recipes, but, who cares, the book is a joy to own and a treasure to keep.

Review Summary: The best baking book I have
Review: 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.
