5.0 out of 5 stars basic training, June 3, 2000
All the basic procedures, techniques,and requirements to be professional pastry cook are covered. Color photos are very clear, visualy explaining the text. This book ( the first in a 4 part series ) gives all the information you need to know to be a pastry - cook. A good tradesman, if you will. It does not teach the innovative and artistic desserts techniques. But if you master these books, you'll be able to produce in any kitchen in the world. Also, very important: the recipes are based on european ingredients, some adjustments are neccessary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Tool for Learning Top-Notch Pastry Skills, March 19, 2006
I went to pastry school in France and found these books absolutely indispensable.

Need to learn the classics of French pastry? This book (and the other three in the series*) is for you! There are lots of detailed pictures and explanations are clear and well written. Along with time-lines to help you gage how long a project will take. The recipes are frequently given for large restaurant quantity along with a scaled down version suitable for home cooking. My only complaint is that there's no index that spans the 4 volumes, though each book does have its own index with references in both English and French. Very useful.

Master the information in these books and you can work in any pastry kitchen anywhere in the world.
