  If you think that flaky pastry is an impossible dream, then this easy to use step-by-step guide to making pies, tarts, dumplings, turnovers and many other pastry-based treats is ideal for you. The 60 recipes are each shown in full colour, and explained in easy to understand language, and range from spicy ginger-peach pie to savoury chicken-asparagus quiche. Each chapter deals with a different type of pastry or dough. The essential techniques of preparation, from ordinary shortcrust to puff and phyllo pastry, are clearly explained, with every stage illustrated in full colour, so that the reader can see each step at a glance. Colour coded chapters help to find essential information in an instant, and include tips, hints, basic equipment needs and a useful glossary of ingredients. The book has been compiled with the editors of Better Homes and Gardens magazine.
