Liam was my favourite contestant of GBBO2017, loved seeing what he would come up next! His ideas were not only appealing visually, but I can only imagine that they tasted great too - his flavour combos were always sounding delicious!

What I really like about this book is the way it was written - you can actually hear Liam's voice in your head when your eyes are skipping through the words. I'm happy that he stayed true to himself and wrote it his way :) makes for a far way better read that most of the cookbooks! Easy to follow instructions, most of them step by step, no complicated techniques, all easily achievable in your home kitchen!
This little cookbook (or should I write "baking book") will be brilliant for anyone who wants to play a bit with their baking, have fun with tastes, but also the look of your creations :) besides isn't that what it's all about - having fun and enjoying the process itself..!?...more

But, I went all in for it, and how glad I am that I finally did! :) Describing it in my 8 years old daughter's words: "Mummy, you're finally a real pastry chef!" :'D

Once mastered basic macaron recipe, I was looking for more flavor combinations, for something different, and also for tips how to improve my macaron making skills. Pierre's book is all that I was looking for and more!
You'll be "walked through" the stages of creating that perfect macaron shell, you'll learn about the tools and equipment you'll need and then the macaron (world) is your oyster! ;)
This particular cookbook gave me a lot of ideas how to simply decorate the macaron shells, how to introduce the flavor into the shell itself, and also how to make the macaron filling more exciting - by adding texture to buttercream in the form of jellies, various crisps, gels etc.
Yes, this book might be a little bit daunting for the inexperience/new baker, but give it a go and you might be surprised! For those more experienced/confident in their baking skills, as well as professional chefs - this will be a great reference book with lots of new ideas and tips!...more
