French pastry is often thought of as difficult to master, but Betty Hung―founder of the blog Yummy Workshop and co-owner of Beaucoup Bakery―makes the classic art of French baking more approachable than ever. Most of her recipes only take an hour, which makes it much less daunting for beginners. Learn basics like pastry cream and pâte sucrée, and create favourites like Lemon Madeleines, Crème Brûlée, Eclairs and Lady Fingers. Readers will be able to take shortcuts like using ready-made puff pastry, or, for the more adventurous baker, Betty demonstrates how to make it from scratch. Whether you are new to baking or looking to expand your skills, Betty will show you how to make delectable desserts that you will be proud of. This book will have 75 recipes and 75 photographs.
