Summary: Tres elegant, with a steep learning curve
Review: Presuming you have now mastered the puff pastry recipe from the professional pastry series by the same authors, and have ordered the necessary molds, lattice cutters & etc. from one of the big New York cooking supply stores, you will now be poised to take full advantage of this exceptional book. In addition to providing elegant design ideas, the book gives invaluable "general advice" which should be read carefully: with a few simple tips our puff pastry hors d'oeuvres now rise evenly, and I must say look much nicer than any of the frozen things sold at gourmet markets. Next up: making our own pan de mie for canapes, which will of course require purchasing a Pullman loaf pan ... Be warned, this stuff is orders of magnitude above chips & guacamole.
