Enter to win a copy of Pastry School: 100 Step-by-Step Recipes by Le Cordon Bleu in our giveaway below (open to US/CA/UK/AU/NZ) members.

Over the last four years, I have professed my love for all things baking. Learning more about the vast world of pastry is my passion and the book we are featuring today Pastry School: 100 Step-by-Step Recipes is the perfect guide to creating beautiful pastry at home. This month the Le Cordon Bleu Chocolate Bible: 180 Recipes from the Famous French Culinary School EYBDPreviewButton is being published. I'll have more about that title in our cookbook review along with a promotion later this month.

Le Cordon Bleu is the highly renowned, world-famous cooking school noted for the quality of its culinary courses with over 20 schools on five continents. While many of us have dreams of attending such an institution, we can gather knowledge from their stunning cookbooks, while we dream.

Each recipe has a full page of nine photographs demonstrating the technique and process of a recipe along with a beauty shot of the final product. The recipes are detailed perfectly with the component ingredients listed, equipment needed (pastry bags for example), tips for success, and then step-by-step instructions that pare down the recipe into something approachable whether you are new to baking or a seasoned baker.

For ages, I've wanted to tackle craquelin and this weekend I am going to make the Choux buns with craquelin and chocolate from this title. I've made Choux buns before but I've been intrigued by the craquelin made on the baking shows I've watched. From the basics (genoise sponge) to the showstopping (Lemon yule log), this book covers it all.
