The Pastry Chef's Guide: Unleash your inner pastry chef with this cookbook featuring a range of easy sweet recipes for baking enthusiasts - from bestselling Junior Great British Bake Off judge

I received the book the next day, and I loved going through it, I have tried 2 recipes and if I can do them anyone can, I’m looking forward to trying more of the recipes

This is one of the best books I have bought in such a long time. Pastry is not an area of the kitchen that I knew an awful lot about before I bought this book, but in the 5 months that I have had it for it has already taught me so much and given me so much more confidence in preparing and making all things sweet. The book is seriously well written and provides so much information into the theory behind everything. I have made so many of the recipes from the book and have honestly enjoyed every single one of them. Each time I make a recipe and it turns out the way that it should do it gives me so much pleasure and excitement. The recipes are obviously seriously tried and tested because they always turn out perfect! I’m so grateful to Rav for all the skills and knowledge that I’ve gained from this book. This book is already a classic in my eyes and will forever be my go to book for Pastry reference 😃

I heard about this book whilst watching Saturday kitchen. I am so pleased I did. This book is like having a pastry chef in your house. It is well written, informative, covers every aspect of patisserie in an easy reference style book. E.G:- Custard, Thick such as pastry cream and thin for pouring custard or or thick for P cream

The science behind baking is very well explained in such a simple way with examples of recipes. Highly recommend this book for anyone looking to understand the purpose ingredients, how they react with each other, why certain of your baking may not turn out like expected, what you can do prevent or rescue the flaws... and ultimately help you feel more confident to start customising recipes. This will not just be a one-off read but you will be using it as a reference everytime you bake!

Nice recipes but could do with more photos. It's always good to know what it's supposed to look.

A good book, for any chef too have in their collection.

This book is excellent. A brilliant reference book for anyone who wants to know more about pastry and sweet things. Recipes are great, it's brilliantly written, with lots of super helpful tips and information, if you want to up your pastry skills it's a must. I've also done both of her online courses with Nicola at Puff School and both of these ladies are seriously talented, super passionate and wonderfully helpful. Would totally recommend this book and their courses. Lots of great things to learn and some seriously delicious food, everything I've made from here has been next level amazing.

This is a brilliant book for anyone enthusiastic about cooking and/or pastry. As a newcomer to pastry I have found the subject quite daunting, but this book sets out the theory behind what you come to cook in advance so you feel you know what you're doing. Recipes are varied and the photos are gorgeous. Will be buying this for birthday gifts.

One of the best pastry books ever! She's put in so much of work into her details, makes a novice like me bravely embark the baking journey. Been waiting to read this book ever since I heard about it and all the rave reviews it kept getting

This is a great book. I’m an experienced pastry chef and I use this book more than any other recipe book I’ve ever gotten. It has so many basic recipes for custards, curds, pastry, etc, I come back to it often. It is so nice to have recipes for just one thing, like for a meringue, instead of trying to find other recipes that would use a meringue or something like that. I like that not all of the recipes are for one dessert with multiple parts. Instead, you can take the parts and combine them. The custard tart from this book is divine. I’ve had this book for five years and I use it so often.

Fabulous book, explains the science & need for precision

Absolutely love this book. Started reading it, and it is chock full of info. So excited to cook more from it.

Wide range of ideas and techniques
