French Pastries and Desserts by Lenôtre

Gaston Lenôtre, the legendary French master pastry chef, was revered for making desserts lighter and more delicious, and his product processing techniques continue to influence pastry chefs in France and around the world today. This new edition of the now iconic cookbook - the book was first published in English in 1977 as Lenôtre's Desserts and Pastries - has been updated in collaboration with the chefs at Lenôtre Paris and the master pastry chef's two children.

200 basic recipes include croissants, pancakes, mille-feuilles, baba au rhum, molten chocolate cake, lemon meringue cake and mango cake.

The chefs at Lenôtre Paris, who run a world-class cookery school, have adapted recipes for both amateur bakers and seasoned professionals looking for inspiration in the rich tradition of French patisserie Lenôtre.
