The Art of French Baking by Ginette Mathiot distills the secrets of pâtisserie into a single, generously illustrated hardcover. First released in 2011, this Phaidon Press edition updates the beloved 1930s classroom classic for modern kitchens without losing its reassuring authority.

Inside, 336 pages guide bakers through croissants, brioche, tarte Tatin, and regional favorites with clear step-by-step directions and practical kitchen tips. Every recipe is paired with line drawings that show technique at a glance, making the book as much a reference tool as an invitation to experiment.

The sturdy hardcover boards and spacious 270 mm layout stay open on the counter, ideal for hands dusted with flour. A single page bears a small mark; otherwise the interior is crisp, unmarked, and free of smoke or cooking odors—ready to slip onto a shelf or gift to anyone eager to master French baking classics.
