Customer Reviews

Beautiful, delicious cakes!

This is a wonderful book! The first edition had some information that needed correcting and they sent a revision sheet with the cookbook. The recipes are delicious and inspired.

Full of errors even in the edited versions

The book is aesthetically beautiful but the recipes do not have consistent measurements of ingredients. I’m long time baker and usually able to tweak errors but there were too many thru out the book. I’m not sure if it’s a language conversion from French to English or poor editing. I looked up reviews on subsequent “corrected” reissues and reviews stated the same errors were not corrected. I do not suggest to buy “minette” as a cookbook. Disappointing.
