French pastries and desserts by Lenôtre

Gaston Lenôtre, the legendary master French pâtissier, was revered for having made desserts lighter and more delicious; his techniques continue to influence pastry chefs in France and around the world. This new edition of the now cult cookbook- first published in English in 1977 as Lenôtre's Desserts and Pastries-has been updated in collaboration with the chefs at Lenôtre Paris and two of the founder's children. The chefs at Lenôtre Paris-who run a worldclass cooking school-have adapted the two hundred essential recipes for amateur bakers and experienced professionals alike.
