"Cheryl accomplishes in Petite Pâtisserie what most pastry and
dessert books should aspire to. It explains real technique that is
used in professional kitchens and translates it for home bakers and
pastry novices to be able to use in their own kitchens without
dumbing down the information."
-Francisco Migoya, head chef at Modernist Cuisine and co-author of
the 2018 James Beard Award-winning book Modernist Bread "A good
cookbook should inspire you to forge your own path, and that is
exactly what this book does."
-Gabriel Rucker, James Beard Rising Star and chef / co-owner of Le
Pigeon and Canard "Whether you're an old hand at baking or an
ambitious beginner, this book is full of charming tidbits to keep
your hands busy."
-Megan Scott, co-author of the 2019 edition Joy of Cooking

this book. Her interesting flavor combinations and love of
chocolate are, of course, just what we love."
