Grand Livre De Cuisine D'alain Ducasse: Desserts Et Pâtisseries

In this magnificent volume, the second in theGrand Livre de Cuisineseries, celebrated chefs Alain Ducasse and Frédéric Robert comprehensively cover the art of making desserts, pastries, sweets, and breads.

Chosen from the dessert menus of the outstanding restaurants with which Ducasse and Robert have been associated, the recipes range from traditional treats such as peach melba, tarte tatin, and oeufs la neige to audacious concoctions such as tropical fruit–stuffed ravioli, chocolate pizza, and coconut-encrusted lollipops. Handsomely styled and enticingly illustrated, the book features more than 650 color photographs.
