Professional chefs are instructed on basic baking and pastry skills during two courses in culinary school, and many culinary schools now offer baking and pastry degree programs. In the professional kitchen, pastry chefs are responsible for the pro-duction of all baked goods, including desserts and breads. Pastry chefs create the dessert menu, which complements the chefs' style and gives the diner a grand finale after the main meal.
I selected this book in hopes of improving my somewhat lacking frosting skills. What I discovered is an amazing book packed with so much information that it boggles the mind. The book is well written and organized, filled with recipes for most any type of baked good you can think of. It’s a keeper for sure.
Beware this book is exceptionally large and may take longer than expected to load.
