Starts off good, then carries on with recipes for a simple home entertaining. Not what I expected from a professional book.

Maybe it’s just me…
I don’t want to take anything away from the obvious skill of the author and I’m sure her shop sells amazing cakes but these recipes are choc full of mistakes: both grammatical and measurement related which does not inspire confidence. I also feel (this may just be personal) that having made 5 of these cakes/tarts that they are very sweet, much sweeter than anything I’ve ever eaten in France. I have often found this with American recipes before and am not confident now that I can trust this book to suit my palate.

Beautiful book with approachable recipes for a gourmet home baker
This gorgeous cookbook makes incredible things and is good at making this impossible looking things approachable for a skilled home baker. Not a book for a beginner, but if you're looking to make entremet, I would recommend it.

Makes you want to bake!
Book was smaller than expected. The recipes were well laid out and made me want to try them. Tried making the creme brulee cookies and lemon mousse and both were delicious. Both (and several other recipes) had the same sweet tart dough base.
