The Pastry Chef's Companion: A Comprehensive Resource Guide for the Baking and Pastry Professional

What a fantastic reference book for any chef too have at hand

Very informative book.

Being a pastry chef in the south east of England. I find this book very useful and i have adopted it as my new bible in the kitchen. A great buy equivalent to Larousse Gastronomique, used for the main kitchen. If your a college leaver or pastry chef or even a chef of any level, then this book must be in your repertoire.

Great definitions but let's be clear on one thing. This is purely a dictionary (it gives the simplest to the more complex definitions) and guide book WITHOUT recipes. Zero recipes.

This was purchased as a gift which has been very well received. Would recommend.

Concisely covers every aspect of baking, from a - z. I love it and so do my wife and daughters.

very disappointed with the quality of the book. It's covered in scratches and looks really old and damaged. I;ve been trying to get in touch with the seller but it wont give me the option. Bad customer service. Very disappointed!

Its not what I was expecting. Just a glossary of terms and meanings.

I received this as a textbook while attending Le Cordon Bleu for my baking and pastry class. I loved the book so much that I gifted this one to my grandmother who is a baker. She loved it as well. When it says comprehensive, it really means comprehensive. This book outlines complementary flavors combinations that can be used for all types of cooking applications, not only baking. This is truly a wonderful book and would make a great gift for the baker in your life!

A complete dictionary for techniques,terms and ingredients a million dollars worth of knowledge for $20 it's a no brainer if you're in school or the industry this is a necessity.

Excellent, book!

E' veramente molto utile. Per ogni vocabolo viene fornita una esaustiva spiegazione. Una sorta di enciclopedia tascabile del pasticcere.Io lo uso in una scuola alberghiera.

I like it! The book looks new !
