Fantastic Desserts!,
By Mononoke (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Le Cordon Bleu Desserts (Cookery) (Paperback)
I just bought this book as a guide to finding out some new and nice desserts for the family but got so much more than expected! The recipes are extremely varied and innovative and the presentation of these desserts is simply amazing! But then you would expect nothing less from Le Cordon Bleu! The contents are as follows:1. Fruit Desserts 2. Iced Desserts 3. Custards, Creams and Whips 4. Souffles, Mousses and Meringues 5. Soft Cheese Desserts 6. Batters and Omelettes 7. Basic Techniques 8. Cakes and Gateux 9. Pastries 10.Grains 11.Petit Fours 12.Finishing Touches I have to say my favourite section was the choux pastry and buns - there is so much you can do with this mix and the pictures just compel you to try some of these ideas. All the recipes are laid out in a well structured manner with clear directions which show you the full recipe from the start. After using this book I feel that if I was to try another cooking book then i would definitely head to the Le Cordon Bleu collection first! Thoroughly recommended!
