Dewey Decimal Number: 641.860944 EAN: 9780316357203 Edition: 1st ISBN: 0316357200 Label: Little, Brown and Company Languages: Manufacturer: Little, Brown and Company Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 304 Publication Date: November 02, 1998 Publisher: Little, Brown and Company Studio: Little, Brown and Company Editorial Review: Product Description: Pierre Herme is acknowledged to be the greatest pastry chef in France, and at long last he divulges his recipes for more than one hundred divinely delicious and stunning desserts - many surprisingly easy to prepare. There are cakes, cookies, tarts, sweets for special occasions, and traditionally holiday creations. His chapter on dessert fundamentals, such as perfect tart dough, buttercream, and meringue, will prove indispensable for any baker. Written by award-winning food writers Dorie Greenspan, DESSERTS BY PIERRE HERME promises to be the dessert book of the year. Amazon.com Review: Master pastry chef Pierre Hermé creates desserts that look too good to be eaten. Whether your own renditions will look quite as exquisite is another question! But finding out is definitely worth the time investment. Here are Lemon Crepes to die for, a Golden Pearl Brownie cake that will send your taste buds spinning in an orgy of taste, and delicate Orange Tuiles that are so light and dainty they practically melt in your mouth. A majority of the recipes do require some more advanced culinary skills--and a patient disposition. A Warm Chocolate and Banana Tart requires that the tart's filling of chocolate and butter be cooled to 104 degrees, and then be cooked for exactly 11 minutes. Thankfully, Desserts offers a wealth of helpful information for cooks--listing the essential equipment and ingredients required for pastry perfection and a dictionary of dessert terms. Beautiful photographs make the desserts shimmer in a translucent light, crying out for you to try your hand at creating them. So, with a little endurance and love, you will be well rewarded with your choice of more than 100 heavenly desserts. --Naomi Gesinger Related Items:

 Rating:  - a fantastic bookThis book is a real good investment. One more time P.Herme gives us all his secrets for success. If you really follow the recipe, you obtain exactly what is on the picture... that's extremely rare. In the first part of the book the authors describe how to prepare the generic/basic elements repeatedly used in the following tarts/cake/loaf/biscuits recipes. These protocols can be used for a lot of everyday life cooking applications: really precious. And then come the full recipes... each of them being a little treasure of flavors and smells... I warmly recommend it !! Rating:  - mostly fruit dessert soooo disappointedDon't think of buying it , NOT WORTH IT .. i recommend hummingbird bakery cook book if you like real dessert as i do like chocolate cheese cake , hazelnut chocolate cupcake.. and much much more Rating: - Love this bookIf you like to bake, this book is for you. There are a few steps for each recipe but the results are so worth it. Love love this book. Rating: - Amazing but complexBeautiful and innovative desserts from a great chef; recipes are clearly explained but most involve multiple steps, so they require planning ahead. Dazzling for special occassions!
