Pastry: A Masterclass for Everyone, in 150 Photos and 50 Recipes
Whether attempting the elusive perfect tart crust or the ever-vexing handmade puff pastry, making from-scratch pastry is the baker's pinnacle of achievement, and arguably the most challenging of all baking skills.
In Pastry, renowned British baker Richard Bertinet demystifies the art of handmade pastry for aspiring bakers of all abilities through the use of crystal-clear instructions, step-by-step photography, and fail-proof weight measurements for ingredients to demonstrate how to make all four different types of pastry: savory, sweet, puff, and choux.
"Running the gamut from simple how-tos to complex recipes, novice bakers and veterans who know the way around a tart pan will both find a treasure trove of flaky, scrumptious possibilities from a master chef and wise teacher." -- Shelf Awareness for Readers
