Book Reviews of Indulge: 100 Perfect Desserts

Book Review: Claire Clark "Indulge"
Summary: 5 Stars

I had watched Claire on a chocolate programme and she was so at ease with her ingredients,making everything look so easy.I have to say very rarely do we get TV chefs who are unpretentious.
I waited and googled Claires name often after seeing her on TV wondering whether or not she would bring a book out, then low and behold a couple of months ago, I saw " Indulge", this is a faboulous book easy to follow and lots of tips. I for one know it will be a best seller.It is easy enough to follow for the novice and I can see my chef friends all clambering to buy it.I am a chef myself so buy books that will be useful, not with just a few star recipes and pretty pictures. "Indulge" has it all.
Claire Clark is a natural and unfussy, Thomas Keller is very wise offering her a position at the French laundry.
I rate this book as one of my favourtes for 2007.

Summary of Indulge: 100 Perfect Desserts

Learn to craft desserts from a master pâtissier.

Claire Clark is the pastry chef at The French Laundry (Napa Valley in California), one of America's most renowned restaurants. Its innovative and creative menus always deliver the highest standards of quality and great taste. Its celebrated desserts, made by Clark, are nothing short of remarkable.

Indulge is a collection of Claire Clark's favorites dishes that any home chef can re-create. Perfectly decadent, the recipes in this new cookbook range from the deceptively simple to the more exotic. Included are cookies, cakes, pastries, mousses, ices, meringues, custards and creams, and more. Clark's down-to-earth writing style demystifies such sumptuous sweets as:

  • Red wine and chocolate cake
  • Bitter chocolate, praline brûlée and espresso torte
  • Orange and pistachio semolina cake
  • Fig and blueberry and créme fraîche tart
  • Rich chocolate ganache tart with salted caramel and candied peanuts
  • Tropical fruit Pavlova
  • Mango, ginger and lime sorbet.

Along with the recipes there are valuable tips and techniques learned during Claire Clark's 20 years as a pastry chef in world famous restaurants.
