With a foreword by Raymond Blanc
Develop your baking skills, understand the building blocks to baking brilliantly and learn core techniques to use in Benoit's foolproof recipes.

Following Benoit's guidance, you'll make classic doughs, including puff pastry, choux pastry and brioche, learning how to create stand-out bakes with perfect texture and flavour. Try your hand at crispy, buttery Palmiers, classic viennoiseries like Pain aux Raisin, build pies and tarts including Tarte Tatin and Salted Caramel Millionaire Chocolate Tart, and make traditional offerings such as Coffee & Orange Creme Brulee and Macarons, as well as impressive recipes like Lemon & Grapefruit Dacquoise.
