Laduree

These gorgeous Laduree books beautifully wrapped in tissue and boxed, with gold leaf pages and a range of wonderful recipes are a joy to own. Never in a million years could books like this be replaced by "Kindle and the like". You have to unwrap the delicate tissue, feel the suede cover and revel in all things French - and that's before you check out the recipes. Nearest thing to Heaven is a Laduree book

This Ladurée Recipe book shames all the rest sitting on the book case beside it..It's lavender tissue paper and gold trimmed pages are just beautiful.The Pan Perdu is amazing and made with brioche bread will make you say "mmmmm" and makeyou hang your head down as you walk to the gym! Full fat is what this book is about,however everything in moderation folks. A once in a while treat is fine, then get back to eating right :)

Despite the fact that my mouth waters at the photos in this book, I'll probably never follow any of the recipes. This is not because they're difficult to follow, it's because I'm a messy cook and I'd hate to spoil this gorgeous book . . . it looks so pretty in my kitchen!

The book is beautifully packaged and bound, and the photos are a delight, but only show the finished product; so no step-by-step photos, which means you will need some level of proficiency to understand the techniques they describe. Some have purchased this book for a coffee-table display; I, however, don't mind getting it covered in flour, sugar and other such ingredients.Some buffoon had this priced at over $400 when I was purchasing it, and I bought it from the UK as other reviewers instructed for around 40 GBP. Turns out that now the same book is available on the US Amazon site for around $26...eh...win some and you lose some. Shipping from the UK to the US was a breeze, and I received the book within 10 days or so.Overall...Great Book!

Beautifully boxed and a wonderfully elegant cookbook. Been to the Patisserie on the Champs Élysées and wanted to have a memento of that experience.
