Patisserie of Vienna (Hardcover)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

These first titles in a new series are attractive introductions to the pastries and baked goods of two favorite cuisines. The Viennese recipes, typically very rich, with lots of butter, chocolate, and cream, range from classic Linzertorte to strudels of all types to Napoleons. Almonds, fruits, ricotta cheese, and wine are the standard ingredients of the Italian creations: Panettone, Cassata Siciliana, Amaretti, and, of course, cannoli. The recipes are clear and well written, and good color photographs are scattered throughout each book. Both are recommended. JS

1.0 out of 5 stars This cookbook just looks pretty., February 18, 1999

By A Customer

This seems to be one of those cookbooks that just looks pretty but no one bothered to test the recipies. Don't attempt anything in this book without allowing for plenty of time to perfect the recipies. Unless your a cordon bleu-trained pastry chef the directions are way too vague. Proportions are off for various componets as well as with individual ingredients. If you like pretty pictures of food this is the book for you. If you want usable recipies for great desserts you'll be very very disapointed...and feel the need to write a review. I have to wonder if the author has ever been in a kitchen
