Review Quotes

"Chef Eileen Gray demystifies working in the pastry kitchen and gives you the confidence you need to bake like a pro. In her cookbook, she shows you the ropes and features a variety of classic and modern recipes, including perfect Raisin Scones, decadent White Chocolate Raspberry Brownies, or her comforting and savory Beef and Guinness Pot Pie."--Marie A. Stecher, Pastry Chef Instructor at Walnut Hill College, Philadelphia, PA

"Eileen wonderfully explains the techniques that we pastry chefs use every day in a way that the true novice will understand. Easy-to-follow instructions for everything from killer Oatmeal Maple Cookies to Almond Croissants make for super simple recipes that anyone can learn (even I learned something new). The first chapter of this book alone is worth adding to your kitchen. Do yourself and your family a favor--buy this book!"--Chef J. Gallagher, CEPC, Senior Pastry Chef, Walnut Hill College

"This cookbook has such a great variety of solid recipes that are approachable for baking novices yet still useful for baking veterans who simply need a few more perfected recipes. I love the brief introduction to ingredients and equipment. Skill wise, it makes a real difference to understand and know why using a specific ingredient or equipment will lead to better results. And I love the tips at the end of all of the recipes. Eileen has definitely set you up for baking success. Happy easy baking!"--Kimberly Cuthbert, Owner & Pastry Chef, Sweet Jazmines Pastry Shop
