Customer Reviews

I had heard about this book from friends and colleagues and was determined to get it. After reviewing the recipes, ingredients, techniques and methods, I have determined this to be a PREMIERE and excellent reference book for improving my baking and pastry skills. It is truly a great asset to any beginner/intermediate/advanced home pastry chef-in-the-making.
If you don't get this book you are really missing out on a great opportunity to really learn the art of baking and pastry.
Did I mention that the book includes a CD-ROM of MasterChef and all of the recipes in the book?

This cookbook is a feast for the eyes and offers extraordinary recipes for both the novice and professional baker. The recipes bring a new creativity and delicacy to the palate, herefore unavailable. I have prepared many of the recipes and ALL have been winners: check out the creme brulee and then continue to read through the multiple options that spring from this one delicious dessert.
This is a classic MUST HAVE cookbook that you will turn to repeatedly and will be delighted with the results.
