Ferrandi Paris French Pâtisserie Cookbook

This cookbook is the ultimate pastry-making reference - 656 pages! From flaky croissants to paper-thin mille-feuille, and from the cream–filled Paris-Brest to festive yule logs, this comprehensive book leads you through every step. Featuring advice on how to equip your kitchen, and the essential doughs, fillings, and decorations.  The book covers everything from quick desserts to holiday specialties and from ice creams and sorbets to chocolates.  This information is presented in tables, diagrams, and sidebars for handy reference. Easy-to-follow recipes are graded for level of difficulty, allowing readers to develop their skills over time.  I love baking desserts and this is one of my favorite cookbooks.  The book is new, still in the original protective plastic.   Non-smoking and non-pet home.
