Cheryl Wakerhauser, owner of the award-winning Pix Patisserie, provides step-by-step instructions along with tips and tricks to demystify the art of French desserts and candies, making patisserie more approachable for home bakers and aspiring pastry chefs. This is a great introduction for those who are looking to expand their skills, or who want to learn about French pastry outside of the more complicated, traditional classics.

French patisserie is a study in components, and Cheryl breaks each recipe down, providing information on classic techniques while imbuing each recipe with a new twist. Her petits fours combine mango and passion fruit mousse, coconut meringue and almond cake to create the perfect harmony of flavor and texture. Cheryl's macarons, a staple for any French dessert enthusiast, have just the right amount of rose flavor, and are miniaturized to be the size of candies.

Cheryl's ingenuity, incredible flavors, and knowledge of techniques are what make her desserts so popular and award-winning. Having the guidance of such an accomplished chef will make this a must-have resource for both aspiring pastry chefs and home bakers.

This book will have 45 recipes and 50 photos.

Cheryl accomplishes in Petite Patisserie 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 Cheryl's passion and pastry expertise are on full display with this book. Her interesting flavor combinations and love of chocolate are, of course, just what we love. -Colleen Gibson, Valrhona Chocolate brand manager
