Broadway Books, 2002. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. First printing.
Dorie Greenspan is the doyenne of making French bakery classics accessible to the American home kitchen. She has co-authored books with Pierre Hermé, Daniel Boulud, and Julia Child, but this 2002 book draws on all sorts of Parisian notables to collect the best, most memorable bites from a city Greenspan fell in love with through food.
You’ll feel a bit like you’re sneaking off with closely guarded secret recipes as you try:
- Chocolate mousse from La Maison du Chocolate
- Pierre Hermé’s Parisian flan
- Ladurée’s strawberry and marshmallow tart
- Vanilla tea tarte tatin from Mariage Frères
- Dalloyau’s famous opera cake
- Chocolate-thyme cake from Pâtisserie Stohrer
Supported by brief descriptions of each pâtisserie or pâtissier and Florine Asch’s charming illustrations, Paris Sweets is a balm for those missing past Parisian travels or for those yearning for a new jaunt over the pond. We’re pleased to offer a Fine first printing in a Near Fine jacket.
