Ferrandi, the French School of Culinary Arts in Paris-dubbed the "Harvard of gastronomy" by Le Monde newspaper-is the ultimate pastry-making reference.
École Ferrandi cooking school opened in 1920 to train
culinary professionals. Internationally renowned for excellence,
Ferrandi offers courses of all levels to students from France and
abroad, including masterclasses taught by celebrated
Michelin-starred chefs.
Rina Nurra is a culinary photographer whose work has been
published in several books and magazines.
"Magnificent. Utterly magnificent.
And important. This is the best pastry book of the 21st century.
And that is saying something. The past few years have seen
wonderful books by authors like Felder, Pfeiffer, and the Curleys.
I relish those earlier books and I will surely consult them. But
French Patisserie is simply supreme. If you only have kitchen space
or time for one grand French pastry book, then this is book to buy
now. You’ll be using this book for decades to come.
This new book comes from the Parisian cooking school Ferrandi. For
a century, the school has taught generations from around the world.
If you scan this book, you will be thinking about flying to Paris
and enrolling. French Patisserie is that tempting.
The book sets a new standard for cookbooks in general and dessert
books in particular. . . .
The book has 235 recipes plus a discussion, again with photos, of
1,500 skills and techniques. It’s comprehensive to the ultimate
degree. The recipes are presented in 3 levels. Level 1 versions are
the traditional and classic ones you expect. Level 2 offer more
sophisticated interpretations — still a lemon tart but now with a
more artistic top. And Level 3 recipes are contributions here from
pastry experts. You will surely salivate at Level 3 and, over time
as your confidence builds, you will not be able to resist.
. . . French Patisserie is a superlative book. Beautiful and
exciting. Fun and delicious. I expect this book to be my companion
for decades to come. Will I make all 235 recipes here? I can only
try. And you will too.
This is the perfect cookbook to offer as a holiday book. To friends
and to family and surely to yourself."

"…the ultimate pastry bible for those who worship at the altar of
croissants and tarts. This is an amazing work of art, a
coffee-table volume of practical information written by the
school’s experienced teaching team of master pâtissiers and adapted
for the home chef. This impressive achievement in the
culinary art of pâtisserie is the perfect gift for those who love
to bake!"
