The Complete Art of Pastry Making, Catherine Atkinson - Rated
I was very excited about receiving this book. I love to bake and this book seemed a natural follow up to cakes and cookies that I usually make. Pastries always had an element of the unknown and held an air of mystery for me, so to speak. However, this book simplifies the art!

It starts off with a brief history on pastry and how it evolved. The different types of pastries and the cooking tools and instruments are discussed in detail.

The recipes are amazing and it is an ideal mixture of both sweet and savoury pastries. Like most recipe books, this one is also beautifully illustrated. I book marked several pages to try out in my first reading alone! This is going to keep me occupied on many saturday afternoons and I am looking forward to it!

Wonderful Recipes and Amazing pictures - Rated
This is a must have book for all of us who love to bake. The introduction on the different types of pastry is very useful with some unusual recipes to. The way the book is layed out is a visual feast I just have to keep looking at it. The recipes are easy to follow and something for everyone can be found.
