This is a beautiful cookbook. It’s full of stunning photos of the finished baked goods. Just what you need to spur you on to try and make the various savory and sweet bakes yourself. This is not just a cookbook for cakes and tarts as it does include recipes for breads and rustic meat pies too. The final chapter is called Must Knows and it includes basic recipes like creme patisserie, rough puff pastry and the like.

The other chapters are cleverly organized and titled like Savory Stunners, Bake Sale Beauties, French Fundamentals and so on. I adapted one of the recipes for my Christmas dinner dessert from the Adventure Bakes section. It was a kind of cake I had never made before and I found the recipe easy to follow and my cake came out beautifully. All measurements are given in grams/ml, cups and ounces so there are no concerns with making your own conversions.

I am excited about trying many of the other recipes in the book in the coming months. It’s the kind of cookbook that anyone would love to have in their library as the recipes run the gamut from simple to spectacular. It gives a baker room to learn and grow while having fun along the way.… (plus d'informations)
