French Pastry, the first volume in this series of three dessert and pastry books, presents a truly encyclopedic collection of the classic preparations of baking and pastry: yeast doughs, puff pastry, sables, tarts, short-bread pastry, petits fours, cookies, pound cakes, individual pastries, and cakes. You'll find over 520 finished desserts; and detailed instructions for over 120 basic foundation recipes. Nearly every recipe is beautifully illustrated with a photograph, showing proper decoration and presentation.
Professional chefs will delight in the organization of this book. Chef Thuries groups finished desserts and their variations in each category with succinct instructions. Line drawings accompany desserts that require assembly, clearly labeling each step and basic components. This time-saving device allows the reader to simply view how a dessert is constructed without having to read through each recipe. Recipes for components are then conveniently grouped and referenced. The comprehensive glossary of cooking terms and ingredients makes this professional reference accessible for culinary students as well as serious cooks.
This series offers an unparalleled opportunity to learn the culinary secrets of Chef Yves Thuries, a renowned Compagnon who has won acclaim in a country that glitters with brilliant chefs. There is no English translation for Compagnon. This title represents a lifetime of dedicated apprenticeship and rigorous study that begins in youth and culminates in a tour of study with accomplished chefs throughout France. Each Compagnon bears a passionate respect for the art he is entrusted with passing on to the next generation.
