Delicate Pastry: 60 Recipes for Gentle Teaching - Nina Metayer

“For me, baking tastes like the joy of being together. Making a beautiful cake is first and foremost about making a delicious cake, with the pleasure of making it yourself for others. From breakfast ( Pecan Babka ) to festive desserts ( Galette Notre-Dame ), including afternoon tea ( Tonka Flan ), plated desserts ( Exotic Floating Island ), or desserts to share ( Paris-Brest ), this book follows all the moments of the day that invite indulgence. I share basic recipes, simple ones, and also more complex creations. These 60 recipes, which you can reproduce by following the step-by-step photographed techniques, are also there to inspire you.” Through them, I tell you my story: the taste of my grandmother's cherry clafoutis, the smell of caramelized fruit in homemade tarts, the aroma of butter from my region, the texture of raw pastry, the sensation of melted chocolate, the juiciness of fruit picked from the tree... Dare to try! It's the beginning of creativity and the source of tender moments to share.
