Oh, at last, Michel's definitive text on pastry. And that's just what it is. A joy from start to finish, with absolutely scrumptious, classy recipes, alongside authoritative, yet accessible techniques on making pastry, including two kinds of puff: classic and rough, depending on what time you have. If you lack self-belief in the pastry-making department, this soon-to-be cookbook classic will arm you with all the confidence and skills you need.

Having recently tried to expand my culinary learning, I have been trying to learn the art of pastry. I have many cookery books and thousands of recipes requiring pastry of some sort. Whilst many of the recipes have been successful, the art of pastry making and cooking has sometimes met some problems. With this in mind I purchased Michael Roux's pastry and I have not stopped making pastry since. The recipes contained within are great, but the key to this book and here others have failed in my opinion is preparing and making the pastry with the right ingredients, the right amounts, the right techniques and at the right times.
Spend a little time sourcing your ingredients (good 45 flour, low water content butter), then follow his tips and tricks and you too will enjoy mouth watering pastry dishes.
Scared of pastry?? You won't be after trying this!!

One of the best books I have bought in recent years. Packed with great photography and clear on instructions.
Certainly debunked the mysteries about making basic and flavoured pastries.
Recipes get progressively more challenging but the basic principles of pastry making forms the foundations. Tried some of the recipes and turned out to be quite successful.
A definite bible to my collection of cooking books.

My Mum asked me to get her this book and shes no amatuer in the kitchen either!

Beguiling.
As always, the love of craft and art is written about, and demonstrated with sublime skill, as is the case with all members of the Roux family.

Very good but short on technique
This is a very good book; not excellent. The recipes are very interesting and well chosen. In addition the pictures give a very accurate impression of what you are aiming for. Read more
