Finally a collection of original book, thorough and professional. Household spend your department! The recipes are not complicated but complete. And yes patisserie is not given to everyone, it is a profession that can not be learned by opening a book. Michalak is a great pastry chef, he will not be content to deliver an apple pie recipe, hence the scarcity of the products they use! Yes it takes hardware but michalak will not cook with your tuperware molds. I loved this book, one can draw and prick his tips and tricks, and here and there he recovered the recipe for a cream to go to another dessert! Very complete and beautiful photos!
