Like its "sister" volume on the basics (The Professional Pastry Chef: Fundamentals of Baking and Pastry, 2002, 0-471-35925-4), this book, which covers such subjects as modernistic desserts, chocolate work, and sugar and marzipan creations, is designed to meet the needs of today's pastry kitchen. This definitive reference features clear explanations, step-by-step how-to photos, and meticulous recipes - all presented in a lively, reader-friendly style. Review: Excellent book, everything in one place - This book deals with a very wide raneg of techniques, and has quite a few good recipes. Some of the recipes may be a bit of a problem when scaled down for home baking, but if you do have some experience (which you should if you are considering this book, this is not for beginners) you can easily adjust it. Also, boiled sugar recipe doesn't work in humid climates, but if you come up with proportion which does work for you, tips and techniques are still very valuable. Highlights of the book - tuile and ladyfingers batter recipes. I use both of those regularly, I love the look of decorated sponge cakes, but I actually use ladyfingers sponge batter (given in cake section at the begining, not lady fingers biscuits) instead of joconde sponge for decorated sponge layers (joconde is a bit more dry) and it turns out perfect. Review: Love this book - Love it. It comes with many delicious recipes and great tips and techniques from the author/ chef. I have a Fundamentals of Baking and Pastry book and this one. Great books! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,282,134 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #469 in Pastry Baking (Books) #981 in Food Science (Books) #66,826 in Textbooks (Special Features Stores) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 195 Reviews | ## Images ![The Advanced Professional Pastry Chef - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-S-kH-J8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book, everything in one place *by A***0 on December 19, 2008* This book deals with a very wide raneg of techniques, and has quite a few good recipes.
