Beautifully executed! Pink Paris Perfect!

Let me start with the fact that the one thing I really liked about this book is that it covered the same recipes used in Laduree's tea rooms. By and large too, the recipes were good, even though a minimal amount of instruction was given. As an accomplished cook, this was not a problem for me, but I could easily see it being a problem for the average person.There was one thing that annoyed me though, and that was the omission of the breads used for their sandwiches. In fact, the grilled veggie sandwich recipe presented several problems. First, the recipe for the bread they use should be provided, as it's obviously an herbed loaf with plenty of piment d'espelette added, if you've had it at Laduree. Additionally, the ricotta mixture definitely had a typo, as the amount of arugula stated is an absurd amount. My husband attempted it, cutting the amount by two-thirds, and it still overwhelmed the spread as well as the sandwich. A real disappointment after broiling those vegetables and baking a loaf of bread with herbs and piment d'espelette.I tried several of the mini tartlets and the taramasalata one really surprised me. It was quite delicious and so different. I did opt to find a recipe in order to make my taramasalata to add to the tartlet recipe, which paid off. They should probably include a recipe for it, as it's not difficult to make.Anyways, outside my gripe about the grilled veggie sandwich, I really liked this book. It's not only functional, but absolutely beautiful, and would make a lovely gift. However, due to the sandwich recipe, I am knocking it down to four stars.
