Baked goods that are marvels of ingenuity and simplicity from the
famed Bouchon Bakery
The tastes of childhood have always been a touchstone for Thomas Keller,
and in this dazzling amalgam of American and French baked goods, you'll
find recipes for the beloved TKOs and Oh Ohs (Keller's takes on Oreos
and Hostess's Ho Hos) and all the French classics he fell in love with
as a young chef apprenticing in Paris: the baguettes, the macarons, the
mille-feuilles, the tartes aux fruits.
Co-author Sebastien Rouxel, executive pastry chef for the Thomas Keller
Restaurant Group, has spent years refining techniques through trial and
error, and every page offers a new lesson: a trick that assures
uniformity, a subtlety that makes for a professional finish, a flash of
brilliance that heightens flavor and enhances texture. The deft twists,
perfectly written recipes, and dazzling photographs make perfection
inevitable.
