Reviews"It's the kind of introduction to pastry that I wish someone had given me long ago, so I might have avoided all the tart- and pie-crust disasters that have plagued my kitchen over the years. . . . . The recipes, ranging from savories like chicken and tarragon tarts and pork pies to beautiful fruit tarts of peaches poached in rosemary syrup with almond cream and fresh apricots atop puff pastry-were well worth the effort, and left me daydreaming about which pastry I'll conquer next." -Karen Shimizu, Saveur -- -, "The gorgeous photography alone makes Pastry worth a look, the perfectly browned and sugar-dusted miniature mince pies spilling forth from a parchment-lined gift box and peaks of blowtorch-kissed meringue on lemon tartlets begging the reader to fire up the oven and dig out the piping bags. Since the text runs the gamut from simple how-tos to complex recipes, novice bakers and veterans who know the way around a tart pan will both find a treasure trove of flaky, scrumptious possibilities from a master chef and wise teacher." - Shelf Awareness for Readers, "The gorgeous photography alone makes Pastry worth a look, the perfectly browned and sugar-dusted miniature mince pies spilling forth from a parchment-lined gift box and peaks of blowtorch-kissed meringue on lemon tartlets begging the reader to fire up the oven and dig out the piping bags.
