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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterclass, 10 May 2009

By	SG (Surrey) - See all my reviews

One of the best cook books I have ever bought. It is a brilliant guide: it is easy to follow; clearly illustrated and covers everything to do with the subject.
Beyond that, Michel Roux just wants you to have a go and shares the information that will enable you to do that.
