5.0 out of 5 stars The Return of the Master, 28 Oct 2008

By	K. Johnston (Hove, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best, 1 Feb 2009

By	Ian D. Martin (UK) - See all my reviews

This is quite simply 'the' best book on pastries. Simple instructions. Well written. Good photogaphy. And, the recipes work, unlike some books I have. I can't recommend this book highly enough. You won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Master at work, 11 Mar 2009

By	M. CHEAH (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
