5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for creativity in pastry arts, May 23, 1999
By A Customer
Many renowned Pastry Chefs share insights in creating and mastering their techniques. Although I am not a pastry chef, I do create desserts, and I was thrilled to not only see pictures and practically step by step procedures, but to also learn more about pricing and creativity when designing a pastry masterpiece..

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to follow directions, March 25, 2007
This book is great for aspiring pastry chefs. I do think some knowledge of high end desserts is necessary if a person would like to make any of the dishes in the book. The pictures are beautiful and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. I know the other books by these authors have gotten good reviews as well.
