Puff Pastry Perfection: More Than 175 Recipes for Appetizers, Entrees and Sweets Made with Refrigerated Puff Pastry Dough Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a wonderful cookbook. I have already used it for multiple hoilday occasions and plan to use it throughout the year. The history of puff pastry at the beginning is fascinating and the recipes are outstanding. A SMART cookbook, one I will reach for again and again for all kinds of entertaining because the recipes are so diverse, perfectly written and quite easy. Here is what I have made so far with great success:
*Blue cheese & Fig puffs (so good and so easy--made me look like a professional caterer. They use fig jam)
*Petite Pissaladières
*Brandied Pear Tarts (these were exquisite, and, again, so easy. Really beautiful too)
*Chocolate Macadamia Strudel (holy moly. I don't think there was a single crumb left)
*Double Ginger Sugar Twists (These may be my new favorite cookies. I love ginger and these were incredibly simple, only 5 ingredients)For the record, I think it is ridiculous to give a low rating for a cookbook based SOLELY on the presence or absence of pictures. I've seen that for several cookbooks on Amazon, as well as trivial comments about the cover, etc.. FYI: As someone who once worked in the publishing industry, I know that authors have about zero control over such design aspects of books (unless you are a superstar author). It is largely a matter of the alotted budget set out by the publisher.
