This book will strengthen your pastry skills and take them to new heights.

Not a book for a beginner, but if you're looking to make entremet, I would recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pro Review *by P***S on February 10, 2019* Okay, I logged on to buy this book for a friend and saw some of the reviews and felt compelled to write my own. I bought this book because I'm a pretty good cook, I do it for a living, and I wanted to get some knowledge on the dessert side. I uploaded pics of a couple things I made from the book. I've never made Macaron before but I made these Strawberry Balsamic Mint Macs by following the simple directions in this book. Then I made the next cake with chocolate mousse, chocolate almond cake, brandied cherries, streusel and a tasty mirror glaze, which is all the rage in dessert world (IG search it), I didn't have any chocolate molds for the pictured super cool gold orb decor from the book so I just made my own decor by chocolate coating some of the streusel to make my "stepping stones" on my Martian Landscape. Notice the sparkle in the "rock" from luster dust, thats the minerals and why everyone wants to go to Mars. I digress. I felt like this book was really well written with good with directions in plain language for both kitchen pros and ambitious amateurs. I saw one review about plastic wrap tricks, it worked for me but I use a plastic wrap that says "food service film" because I'm a pro... anyway everything I've made out of this book has worked well for me and I'll say that everyone who's tried what I've made has been very pleased. Like I said the whole reason I was back here was to buy the book for a friend because I thought it was so good. ## Frequently Bought Together - Modern French Pastry: Innovative Techniques, Tools and Design - Japanese Patisserie: Exploring the beautiful and delicious fusion of East meets West - French Patisserie: Master Recipes and Techniques from the Ferrandi School of Culinary Arts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/47678687-modern-french-pastry-innovative-techniques-tools-and-design](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/47678687-modern-french-pastry-innovative-techniques-tools-and-design) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
