Miette is exactly what you think a cute Bay Area shop would be: community-oriented using local, seasonal, organic ingredients, creating innovative, style-conscious recipes in which presentation is just as important as taste, in a darling pink and chartreuse shabby chic. As the shop goes, so goes the book. Miette: Recipes from San Francisco’s Most Charming Pastry Shop is cream-filled with 100 recipes and 75 photographs to help guide you through the process of confectionary cooking.
With mouth-watering photos and an immaculate presentation, the book is almost as delicious as the goodies inside. There are cakes, cookies, bars, tarts, pastries, and candies; what’s more, you’ll never run out of recipes to try because almost everything the book can be revisited with different flavors. Meg Ray has included step-by-step instructions for successful confections, including how to mix, bake, set, and decorate, and you’ll revisit these instructions again and again. Once you’ve mastered these recipes, make up your own. Perfect for the intermediate cook who has mastered simple baking.
I love dessert! Cakes, cookies, pies, tarts and anything else you can get in a bakery! Over time I have been learning to bake my own to save money and because I enjoy doing it. I found this Recipes from a Pastry Shop book and am now learning a more upscale baking process with all fresh ingredients! No more boxed cake mixes. This book has step by step processes which walks me through the recipe from gathering to mixing to baking. I have even made a few changes in flavours to create my own! Any baker should own this book!
