"There are fussy canelés and easy brownies; spiced nuts
and sticky sweets — in fact there's something, most likely, for
even the most unadventurous palate."

"The easy-to-follow instructions and beautiful photography help
demystify even the most advanced of the pastries and
sweets."

“What I like most about … [Baklava to Tarte Tatin] is that it
doesn’t just say ‘do this’, ‘do that’ – it
explains why you should do things in a certain way.
… Thank you for the inspiration.”

“Bernard Laurance, one of France’s most popular food bloggers, …
deconstructs dishes endlessly until he finds their essence, then he
reconstructs them for his millions of followers. … On the back of
the success of the blog he has done a cookbook in English.”
-The Times
"[Bernard Laurance] is a pure cuisine geek. Just for the sake
of it, he will try each recipe with a bit more sugar, icing instead
of raw, a bit less egg, mixing this and that before a key
ingredient, etc. What I like is that love for taste and
that true quest for THE recipe which will never fail. He explains
his errors, his attempts and this makes the experience richer and
prevents you for falling in the same traps. If you have a sweet
tooth, jump on [Baklave to Tarte Tatin]."
