I completely fell for this book leafing, recipes are all more attractive as each other, the photos are aesthetic, not too many ingredients to buy and revisited basic. Furthermore format "Small dishes" Marabout I have already widely adopted. I decided to test the recipe for mini lemon / meringue to start and there is indeed a problem with the famous recipe for vanilla sponge cake that is completely void. The cake does not rise during baking and butter flowing. Result I had to make another dough with another recipe! Fortunately the lemon curd is good. In short, good book for ideas but you better have other books to bounce on failure. Which ultimately makes a little expensive just for ideas! I should have read reviews before buying. Too bad that people put 5 stars even before tested recipes, it's still the principal yet in a cookbook!
