This was a gift purchase for my sister who has her own catering company...and when she tells me the recipes are complicated I know it's WAY out of my league! :) Beautiful photos, very explicit instructions but not for the novice.
She loves the books, and I love the desserts she makes from it! :)

It is the first time I found a very easy way to understand Pastry and how to do.
