Also exploring the evolution of desserts over time, the stories that introduce each featured dessert divulge how great chefs have built upon and improved these pastries, and master pastry chef Pierre Hermé embraces this spirit of innovation in inspired recipes that follow the originals"--Dust jacket. |
