Petite Patisserie
A charming guide to the delicate pastries of France, Christophe Felder and Camille Lesecq reveal the secrets behind the small treats that define neighborhood patisseries. From classics like madeleines, financiers, and petits fours to inventive modern creations, this book provides home cooks with precise recipes, step-by-step decorating tips, and guidance for vegan or gluten-free alternatives. Beginning with 27 essential base recipes—pâte brisée, pâte sucrée, dacquoise, pâte à choux, and more—the book progresses through chapters of increasing complexity, ending with playful “funny” cakes designed to delight children and guests. With Felder’s expertise and Lesecq’s experience, this volume celebrates the art of French pastry in bite-size form, making the magic of Parisian sweets accessible to all home bakers.
