Teatime in Paris!: A Walk Through Easy French Patisserie Recipes

This is a lovely little book, I love making the recipes and I really want to visit Paris to find the many cafes and shops recommended in here.

I bought this for a gift for Christmas. I looked through it and was quite impressed but a lot of the recipes are a little repetitive - loads of macarons. I thought the patisserie would look a lot more attractive and fancy. I am sure my daughter will love working her way through the book though. Extras that I hadn't thought of, is that she doesn't have the requisite tins. All in all this add on gift is working out expensive!

Not only a beautifully illustrated book for the coffee table, leading you through the streets of Paris, but a really user-friendly step by step guide to the mouth-watering patisserie of France.

A really lovely book with gorgeous recipes, pretty photos and nice comments throughout. This would be a lovely gift for a baker or lover of all things French.

Good

My absolute favourite book! I've tried most recipes out of this book and all have turned out very good, it's explained in a way which just makes sense and is not overly complicated. Just watch you waistline with this book, it might start to expand as you start to try all the lovely recopies!

This is such a fab book. The recipes are delicious and I have used it lots. Highly recommend

Some lovely recipes, but more complex than the book blurb suggests!

I was pleasantly surprised by this lovely cookbook. It's packed with delicious recipes, step by step instructions and beautiful photos. Jill has a section on making macarons. Her first book was called Mad About Macarons, so she knows macarons. Lots of gorgeous pastries that are equally at home for an Afternoon Tea in Paris or London!

I absolutely love this book! It is colorful, informative and interesting. It's a cookbook, for sure, but it is also a travel book, a photo book, a history lesson and just GOOD FUN! I love the retro-modern look of the illustrations and really enjoyed all the Paris street signs. Food photos are great, too. I learned that even I can make Paris pastries and with Jill's instructions, it's not difficult at all.

Jill is delightful and the concept behind this book is great. If you have any issues with recipes or questions for her, she is easy to reach via her social media pages, so delicious French pastries can easily be yours in your own kitchen. The chocolate tart recipe from here is incredible.

I found Jill on Instagram and fell in love with her photos of food, travel, and everyday life in France. Buying her books was the next logical step. Filled with scrumptious recipes and beautiful photos, this book is a delight to browse through. I am not much of a baker, so I cannot review the recipes yet, but the imagery holds me captive every time I pick up the book. P.S. My 10 yo daughter can't wait to try her hand at the pistachio and cherry kirsch choux puffs!

If you have had the pleasure of enjoying teatime in one of the beautiful tea establishments in Paris, this is a book you will want to add to your collection of tea books. Lots of wonderful and easy to duplicate treats, beautiful photos. Put the kettle on and enjoy a cup of tea while turning the pages of this delightful book..
