Oh, at last, Michel's definitive text on pastry. And that's just what it is. A joy from start to finish, with absolutely scrumptious, classy recipes, alongside authoritative, yet accessible techniques on making pastry, including two kinds of puff: classic and rough, depending on what time you have. If you lack self-belief in the pastry-making department, this soon-to-be cookbook classic will arm you with all the confidence and skills you need.

When choosing a menu selection, how often do we linger over the sauce description that accompanies a meat or fish dish? Personally speaking ... each and every time. Without trying, it is the prospect of a sauce taste-explosion that swings me - Light Lamb Gravy scented with Lavender Honey has to be more appealing than Lamb in a Tasty Sauce; and so it goes on. This book has revolutionised the way that I choose what we eat.

A better way is to select the meat or fish that you fancy and then hot-foot it to the clever index that stipulates which sauces go with which meat/fish. The world is your oyster ... Read More:
