Starts off good, then carries on with recipes for a simple home entertaining. Not what I expected from a professional book.

Maybe it’s just me…
I don’t want to take anything away from the obvious skill of the author and I’m sure her shop sells amazing cakes but these recipes are choc full of mistakes: both grammatical and measurement related which does not inspire confidence. I also feel (this may just be personal) that having made 5 of these cakes/tarts that they are very sweet, much sweeter than anything I’ve ever eaten in France. I have often found this with American recipes before and am not confident now that I can trust this book to suit my palate.

Makes you want to bake!
Book was smaller than expected. The recipes were well laid out and made me want to try them. Tried making the creme brulee cookies and lemon mousse and both were delicious. Both (and several other recipes) had the same sweet tart dough base.

Not for beginners
What a book!! I have made two recipes, Pistachio Picnic cake and The Cha-Cha. Neither pastry was as pretty as the pictures but they tasted unique and sublime. This book will strengthen your pastry skills and take them to new heights. I recommend this book for any serious pastry enthusiast.
