Patisserie Made Simple: From macaron to millefeuille and more

The title is accurate; these recipes do simplify pastry-making to a level that most good home bakers can handle. Some of it can be challenging; kouigh-amann is not something you undertake lightly. Still, this book would be a good way to move your baking t the next level, without the kind of financial or preparatory commitment required by a book like "On Baking" (which I also recommend, FWIW). Keep in mind that this is a British book and its measurements are in metric weights. Honestly, these recipes call for the kind of precision that wouldn't work any other way. Still, I know how some people feel about that, so be aware.

Discovered this author completely by chance and am now completely captivated by him. I started reading the recipes and immediately felt compelled to have a go! His writing style is informal but informative and made me think I could be successful with his recipes. I also loved the photographs of both the bakes and the images of France. A delightful, delicious delicacy!

This book had a lot of stories about how each recipe came about. It had tips at the end of each recipe. There were beautiful pictures to show how each recipe should look. This is truly a beautiful book.

I like challenging myself making things from scratch. French is my favorite, and the book is filled with recipes I want to try. Some of them are within my skill set, so exciting. I wish, however, that the old standard cups and tablespoons be an option.

I can't wait yo start making these recipes. The procedures are easy to follow and you will find great photos. I definitly recommend it!

Wonderful recipes

Great recipes, just as I wanted. I just wish it included conversion charts so it can be used with US measuring devices.

Love his blog, so this book is unsurprisingly amazing to me. The photos are beautiful and 95% the recipes are ones that people would actually make.

Love the book and recipe. They are easy as advertise. I am just sad that he didn't include the flourless chocolate cake recipe. Just remember to buy a scale with the book if you don't already own one!!

Great hard back recipe book. Full of Great illustrations and easy to follow recipes.

The recipes are great, Edd is brilliant. Only annoying thing is the size of the book…

this book was very easy to read, the recipes seemed easy to follow without complicated instructions.

Another really good book from Ed’s series, I cant wait to start trying the recipes.
