French baking demystified I found Jill on Instagram and fell in love with her photos of food, travel, and everyday life in France. Buying her books was the next logical step. Filled with scrumptious recipes and beautiful photos, this book is a delight to browse through. I am not much of a baker, so I cannot review the recipes yet, but the imagery holds me captive every time I pick up the book.P.S. My 10 yo daughter can’t wait to try her hand at the pistachio and cherry kirsch choux puffs!
Probably one of the most beautiful cookbooks ever! This is a beautiful cookbook with a variety of recipes for teatime pastries. I didnât know about the teatime custom in France until I read this book. There are all sorts of recipes â some of which look quite daunting to say the least, but I may give even those ones a try. Iâd like to try out most of the recipes, which seem quite clear and are full of helpful photos.This book is also fun in that itâs a bit of a travel book â a sort of walking tour of some wonderful looking patisseries in…
Like a trip to Paris Teatime in Paris is a wonderful collection of beautiful pictures of French pastries and a wealth of information from an explanation of ingredients to a “sweets” walk to a chapter on baking essentials. The recipes are presented in a clear step-by-step form and include all the pastries I associate with the French. The Madeleines are delicious! I’m looking forward to using the many recipes for macaroons.
