Pastry chef

Or anything by Maida in fact... Her Book of Great Desserts, her Chocolate books, and cookie books are all classics. Explained in great detail, her recipes are foolproof. Maida was a great friend and mentor and allowed me to use several of her recipes in my own books.

Pastry chef

Picked this during that same period, when I was a newly minted pastry chef and overthinking everything from technique to flavor profiles; it was a great reminder that classics are classic for a reason.

Because I adore lemon cake, and there are not one, but two killer lemon cake recipes in this book.
