Great narrative and clear directions
If I can’t do really good pastry after reading this book I should be a pro. The pictures are very great and show you step-by-step how to do things and I need to see it and do it to learn it. There’s nothing I don’t like!

Great Book with Reservations
I think this a very informative book, I love the step by step instructions. I do wish I had a little more info on some ingredients I have never heard of. Can someone tell me what "Dessert Jelly" is? It appears to be a powder, and can be used in both hot and cold applications. I am ok with not being able to get Yuzu Marmalade, and Tonka Beans, maybe one day I will find a source. I do believe one can learn from this book, even if you have to work a little harder to find substitutes for some of the ingredients. Hope I can taste a Victoria pineapple one day!
