Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Whatley spent ten years in Paris studying French pastry and working as a patissiere. Now she has drawn on her training and background to produce a comprehensive cookbook featuring a full range of classic pastrymaking , with dozens of recipes for cakes, tarts, cookies, and more. Most pastry books of this scope are aimed at the professional; Whatley's clear instructions make her recipes easily accessible to the home cook, and her headnotes include culinary lore not found in the basic texts. Nick Malgieri's Perfect Pastry ( LJ 11/15/89) includes many of the better-known French pastries, but dedicated home bakers will find Whatley's ambitious work invaluable.
