The simplest of techniques, typically left out of most cookbooks, are covered in the greatest detail.

Once you've reviewed the techniquws for baking perfect cake layers, you'll be reday to creat a Chocolate Chestnut Roulade or the classic and decadent Sachertorte. After learning from the experts, you'll be piping meringue, whipping up chocolate mousse, and preparing Pots de Creme with ease before you know it. Related Items:
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Wonderful helpAlthough this book doesn't have as many recipes as I'd like, it is full of techniques that enable you to utilize all the recipes you have. The full color pictures that go along with every technique were beautiful. I would have given this 5 stars except that there could be a little more explanation for the techniques in the back of the book. Overall, this is fast becoming my go-to book for creating spectacular desserts Rating: - I can't believe it only received an average of 2.5 stars!This book is amazing, the pictures are fabulous, the techniques spectacular, and recipes thorough. No, it doesn't explain every single detail step by step, but it's not supposed to. It's not going to hold your hand here, it's a 'techniques' book, not a recipe book. Besides, most of the descriptions are self-explanatory, that as a basic aspiring cook, I myself can understand. It has some great ideas about different dessert techniques that I'd like to try out. Can't wait to give the choux pastry swans a go at my next party. Rating:  - DelightfulThe color photographs in this cookbook are outstanding. The reader will find inspiration and instruction in the same package. Many of the recipes produce beautiful presentations with fairly simply techniques. Great value Rating:  - Do Not BuyThe book is filled with great pictures, but the techniques are poorly described, and sometimes are not described at all. I've tried several recipes and all of them have been missing steps that the book assumes you already know. My sponge cake for example could have been used for a spare tire, not sure what happened there! I've used some of the ideas in the book, but have gone to other cookbooks for the actual recipes! This book was not worth the money.
