I've only made the madeleines thus far, but they came out beautifully and were nummy =D
EDIT: Overall, absolutely lovely book, and great reading for anyone with a particular fondness for pastry shops (but of course, you could have guessed that...). My one complaint is that the recipes aren't as "everyday" as those in her classic Baking: From My Home to Yours, so I wouldn't want it as a recipe book per say, and there isn't enough other text to really justify more than a library jaunt.

I've been trying to reduce my sugar intake, but I've been baking a lot lately, and it's hard to resist all that yummy batter! I just made a flourless chocolate torte for the first time (Cooks Illustrated recipe) and I can't wait to eat it tonight for Passover =DYou should try Cooks Illustrated's chocolate chip cookie recipe--it uses browned butter and it's GODLY OMG.
I want to make parmesan-peppercorn cornmeal madeleines. I've found a recipe for cornmeal madeleines and I plan to just mix in some parm and pepper =)
I eat a small square of 84% dark chocolate every night with a bit of raw almond butter on top. Oh, my gosh, is that good. And I'll never turn down cupcakes, key lime pie, and lemon bars. Yum!
