In fact, it can be quite easy to prepare pastry, savory and sweet alike, at home. Divided into 10 chapters, each focusing on the most popular types of dough such as short crust, brioche, puff, choux, croissant, filo, amongst others, Roux teaches us how to whip up these classic pastries in the simplest possible ways. Thoroughly generous with his knowledge of pastry, this cookbook is brimming with detailed step-by-step techniques, stunning full-color photographs, numerous kitchen tips, and about 100 classic and contemporary pastry recipes. To those wanting to explore the art of pastry making, this is a great place to start.
