CHÊNE Laduree: The Savory Recipes

I bought it as a gift for a friend and came really well-packaged and looks lovely. The recipes look great and the shipping was very quick and efficient!

El libro es súper bonito, las tapas son de terciopelo, lo compré para regalar como algo especial

Ein perfektes Geschenk für alle Laduree Fans und sehr edel verpackt!

Classy from the moment you open the Amazon box. This book is presented in a beautiful Blush Laduree box. The box is just as beautiful as the book. The book is wrapped in tissue and the photos are so beautiful. This book will never go on a shelf. The book and the information are works of art. I realize it is a cookbook but I would never take it in my kitchen. I would not dare mess it up. What a wonderful gift for anyone on your list.

The cookbook comes wrapped in a pretty and sturdy Laduree box, complete with tissue paper. The book itself has a padded velvet cover with gilded page edges and is truly beautiful, as are all the illustrations. It is not for beginners because the directions assume that the cook is acquainted with certain procedures, but if you a reasonably experienced baker, you will enjoy making a lot of the recipes. Some are quite complex but there are many that do not take all that much time and turn out truly impressive. I have tried the Creme Brulee with Orange Flower Water, the Strawberry Mascarpone Tart, the Cherry Clafouti and the Rice Pudding, all of which are easy and delicious. I have also made the Intensely Chocolate Cake which turned out spectacular but took quite a long time to make. This is definitely a special occasion cake. I am looking forward to trying a number of other recipes but not all because some call for ingredients that are not easily available in my area. As mentioned in my title, it is fun to just look through the book and read the recipes.... they remind me so much of Paris. I am happy to have it.
