Summary: A great armchair visit to Paris for foodies.
Review: Having just returned from a years stay in Europe where I had the opportunity to visit Paris many time, I found this book a visual delight, as well as a treasure of hard to get recipes. It brought back many memories of strolling along the streets of Paris feasting with my eyes, as well as tasting some of the fantastic creations of the bakers of Paris. Armchair travel for the novice cook, a baking challenge for the experienced

Summary: Outstanding Book!
Review: I have other Books by Linda Dannenberg, while they are all superb, this one is absolutely my favorite. Although the subject of French pastry making may seem daunting, this book contains many simple but delectable recipes. A must have!

Summary: Still the best French pastry cookbook
Review: I have used this book for more than 5 years and take it with me on every trip to Paris. If you can't get success from these recipes then you might consider some other past time than baking. Get used to baking with weights and this book is perfect. Something as simple as a Madeleinne is created perfectly in weight measures but just a shot in the dark when using volume measurments. This book is not exactly for beginner bakers but if you have some experience it is fantastic

Summary: More Boulangerie, Less Patisserie
Review: I really liked this cookbook. It's full of French flavor and flair and the recipes I have tried have been delicious. But I was a little disappointed to find more bread recipes than pastry recipes. Also, the recipes are often quite difficult to make. Other than that, this is fabulous book, with GREAT photography. I would recommend this to seasoned bakers (especially those interested in bread making,) and for people wanting to put a little French into their daily life. Not for people searching for lots of pastry recipes or ideas.
