Media Reviews
Cookery writer and teacher Maxine Clark removes the mystery of pastry making with her clear-cut instructions in this lavishly illustrated book on tarts, savoury and sweet. Explaining the methods for making all sorts of pastries - pate sucree, filo, puff, shortcrust and more - she dispenses her years of experience to those who would normally steer clear of what can be a culinary catastrophe. Her collection of recipes, gloriously photographed by award-winning photographer Martin Brigdale, will whet the appetite with their extensive range. Inspirational concoctions such as goats cheese, leek and walnut tarts and cranberry cinnamon crunch tart intermingle with the more traditional quiche lorraine and pumpkin pie, making this an appealing cookbook for all tastes. Advice on tools and methods will also ensure no mishaps during preparation and even blind-baking is transformed into an easy-to-do technique. Place your trust in Maxine and pastry making will no long be a culinary disaster waiting to happen. - Lucy Watson
