There are recipes for every type of pastry from shortcrust and choux to puff and strudel, plus practical advice on preparing savoury and sweet fillings. Such techniques as kneading, shaping and trimming are explained, with step-by-step photography. Over 70 delicious recipes are included, from well-loved Chicken Charter Pie and Alsace Leek and Onion Tartlets to mouth-watering Coffee Cream Profiteroles and Almond Cream Puffs. Full of recipes, helpful advice and practical information, this is a useful kitchen reference for every household.
