If you enjoy cooking, you,ll love this book. I own a wall of cookery books and find i only use them for a very few recipes in each. This is the exception and is the most used with plenty of wonderful recipes to choose from. I received this as a gift and will be buying one for my daughter who is still a novice when it comes to desserts.

I totally love anything the Roux family do in cooking and of course Michel Roux senior is an absolute master. This book is no exception and is a wonderful addition to my cookbook collection - we are having the lime mousse for dessert this Christmas.
