I bought this book expecting it to be full of idea's that I would never be able to achieve but could look at and aspire to, how wrong I was, this book is full of step to step instructions that take you right by the hand and guide you to make the cakes and pastries that you have always aspired to make but didn't think you would ever be able to achieve...... an excellent book for expert and novice alike.... bravo.

Forget Jamie Oliver, forget Ainsley Harriott, forget Nigella Lawson, and all of those tv 'celebrity chefs', these are the real deal; brilliant chefs who have worked incredibly hard over many years building their reputation with amazing skill, unstinting work and a genuine love of their art, not by being matey or glamorous in front of a camera for a couple of years.
For anyone who wants to be a pastry chef, or who is interested in cooking to this standard at home this will be an invaluable addition to your bookshelves. There is a sound grounding in some of the basics of Patisserie such as doughs and pastries, and an exquisite collection of recipes covering classic French desserts and sweets and the Roux brothers' own innovations and ideas from their years of experience. The recipes are not necessarily there to be exactly copied,although they certainly could be, but can be used to give ideas to stimulate one's own imagination, and to teach important principles and techniques.I have personally found it very helpful in each of these ways.
The dishes are, of course, beatifully presented, as is the book itself, a genuine professional cookbook from two genuine, brilliant chefs.

French living in Britain, I occasionally crave for French pastry cakes. This is the only book I have come across which will allow me to come close to professional finish without fuss. The explanations are clear and easy to follow and all the recipes I have tried have been very, very nice indeed. Do not let the more complex recipes put you off, this THE BOOK for all your basic needs too.

old fashioned
This book was first published in 1986 and shows it. The layout is dated, the recipes are of the era and very, very unexciting. Read more

A moving book.
A book devoted to craft and art, evident in both the text and photography. I do not think that it would be too much to say that many would find this book to be a seminal work.
