4.0 out of 5 stars
Lots of great information, April 9, 2008
This review is from: Designer Desserts (Hardcover)
I like how this book is done in three parts, But it takes some getting used to. First section is step by step techniques, i.e. Sugar work, and chocolate work and such. The second part is the plate designing, and third are the recipes.
MOST professional dessert books have only one picture and a recipe, making it hard to follow or duplicate. This book has many pictures for each dessert along with diagrames of said dessert. This is almost like a Dessert text book, but in a good way. The techniques are advanced, so I would not recommend this for a new cook.
My biggest complaint is that the pictures are not the best quality and they look like a low res digital camera was used. They are shadowy, grainy, and dark. (The little doodle drawings with each dessert were of better quality) Otherwise this book is a five star for me. - Best dessert book I own!
