The Art of French Baking by Ginette Mathiot distills generations of pâtisserie know-how into one inviting hardcover. First published in 1938 and refreshed here by Phaidon in 2011, this illustrated cookbook remains the go-to reference for classic French desserts and everyday treats alike.
Expect 336 pages of clear instructions on éclairs, tarte Tatin, madeleines, brioche, and more, all geared to modern kitchens. Step-by-step sketches guide novices and seasoned bakers through techniques that turn simple ingredients into bakery-worthy results.
This gently used copy shows just a single page with a minor mark; otherwise the pages are crisp, unmarked, and tightly bound. It comes from a smoke-free home and is ready to grace your kitchen shelf or gift list.
Ideal for young adults, adults, and anyone hungry to master authentic French cuisine, this hardcover edition of Mathiot’s timeless work offers both inspiration and practical skills without a single dog-eared corner.
