Random House, $60.00, Hardcover |
Claudia Flemming’s first book is an inspiring and mouth-watering read! The recipes take a fresh approach to many classic recipes as she has created desserts you want to make, eat and maybe, share.
Claudia developed her dessert and pastry techniques over 8 years but credits her success to Pierre Herme whom she trained with in France. Claudia's style can be referred to as refined yet straightforward. Whether a professional pastry chef or a home cook, this cookbook will inspire all skill levels.
Containing 175 recipes, the recipes are organized seasonally by fruit, vegetables, nuts, herbs and flowers, spices, sweet essences, dairy and chocolate. There are also tips on assembling and combining desserts for an irresistable last course. Enjoy delights such as a White Chocolate Espresso Tart, Maple Flan in Walnut Crust, Concord Grape Sorbet and Peach Tartes-Tartin.
If these desserts wake up your taste buds, wait till you see the rest of the book!
