Japanese Patisserie: Exploring the beautiful and delicious fusion of East meets West

This is truly a beautiful book with great recipes for the pastry artist. Note however that most of the recipes require some previous training in baking and pastry production, i.e. more for the professional rather than the novice. However a few of the recipes could be made by weekend bakers. Regardless, this is a wonderful book, with beautiful photographs, well written, and a must for fans of Japanese sweets and the fusion of western baking with Japanese ingredients.

Exactly what I was looking for.Asian inspired pastries.

Beautiful book full of well written, but difficult recipes for Japanese / French cross recipes for what appear to be wonderful patisseries. The pictures of the patisseries are phenomenal. Some of the recipes give instructions for at least 2 days of work. But hints at making the work a little easier are given.

Good book, could have been more comprehensive but it was innovative. I enjoyed some of the recipes and felt inspired by other flavor creations

Pretty. Not necessarily for beginners. Good for elevating your pastry game.

Best book I've bought in YEARS. I'm a classically trained pastry chef and this book is absolutely amazing. You definitely need prior pastry experience to follow it but it shows many techniques I had forgotten and did not learn in school such as a sponge made in the polystyrene cup. Love love love it!!

Gorgeous book! Have marked many pages and have ordered supplie on Amazon to make some of these amazing treats!

This is a beautiful book with some great ideas. If you are looking for upper scale pastries with a Japanese flare this is the perfect book. Very glad I came across it!
