I absolutely love this book. This book changed my view on the art of creating desserts. She made my view on pastry much more fun and interesting ! I learned that pastry isn't just about sugar, butter, chocolate, and flour. THERE'S SO MANY INGREDIENTS OUT THERE TO EXPERIMENT WITH !

Another great book to pick up from the library and dream in. I keep checking it out, i need to just break down and buy it. A little bit of everything - cookies, cakes and plated desserts. The illustrations and photographs alone are worth a read.
