Pastry Love: A Baker's Journal Of Favorite Recipes

"At first glance – fig danishes on the cover! – you might think Pastry Love is a “someday” book, as in “someday I will try to make pastry.” But in fact, it’s shockingly accessible. There’s maple-blueberry scones, there’s pound cake, there’s mocha chip cookies. It tricks you into thinking it’s a normal baking book, and then somehow by the time the book has been around the kitchen for a week, you’re making puff pastry and apple chaussons. Beautifully photographed, free of the massive tables and charts typical of pastry textbooks, Pastry Love may just turn you into an accidental pâtissier."
