The books featured on this site are aimed primarily at readers aged 13 or above and therefore you must be 13 years or over to sign up to our newsletter. The ultimate expert guide to pastry, patisserie and baking, with more than 200 recipes and step-by-step techniques, from the creators of Larousse Gastronomique. It covers all aspects of baking – from simple everyday cakes and desserts to special occasion show-stoppers. Special features on baking for children, lighter recipes and quick bakes, among many others, provide a wealth of ideas. For more complicated desserts there are step-by-step photo sequences to demonstrate production and assembly, such as for kugelhopf and apple strudel or chocolate soufflé.There's a fairly wide range of sweet bakes included, mostly from French and English traditions (and a few Italian and German). The more than two hundred recipes include iconic desserts such as rum babas, crème brûlée, several types of charlottes, and kouign-amman. For example, it does not say at what temperature you need to cook the eggs to make sure you are not eating raw eggs. If like me you have tons of cookbooks and want / need to reduce them, then this is a fabulous option for Desserts.

See photo)In the Kindle version the recipe is often stretched over two pages (see photo) with the picture thereafter. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's a much smaller and simpler treatment of the topic than I was hoping for, especially in comparison to how many plain cakes featured.It’s absolutely packed with colour photos ( over 1500) and many recipes have detailed picture instructions.
