Patisserie of Vienna

Rating:
Summary: This cookbook just looks pretty.
Review: This seems to be one of those cookbooks that just looks pretty but no one bothered to test the recipies. Don't attempt anything in this book without allowing for plenty of time to perfect the recipies. Unless your a cordon bleu-trained pastry chef the directions are way too vague. Proportions are off for various componets as well as with individual ingredients. If you like pretty pictures of food this is the book for you. If you want usable recipies for great desserts you'll be very very disapointed...and feel the need to write a review. I have to wonder if the author has ever been in a kitchen
