The Art of French Baking
Shipping
The Art of French Baking by Ginette Mathiot distills a lifetime of Parisian kitchen wisdom into one elegant hardcover. First published in 1938 and refreshed here by Phaidon in 2011, this illustrated cookbook remains the go-to reference for authentic French pastries, breads, and desserts.
Inside, 336 pages guide bakers from airy brioche and lemony madeleines to regional specialties like cannelés and tarte Tatin. Step-by-step sketches clarify techniques, while ingredient notes keep the focus on classic flavor and healthful simplicity.
This copy is crisp and unmarked—no previous owner names, dog-ears, or smoke odors—held by a tight binding that opens flat for easy kitchen use. A single, faint stain on one page is the only sign of its prior life, leaving the rest of the volume spotless and ready for flour-dusted adventures.
Ideal for young adults building skills or seasoned cooks craving reliable French recipes, this collectible edition adds timeless style to any shelf.
