You will find no tart tatins, lemon tarts or opera cakes in this book. Instead, Modern French Pastry gives you 41 original recipes never seen before, in an array of shapes, colors, flavors and sizes. Pix Pâtisserie award-winning chef and owner, Cheryl Wakerhauser (a.k.a. Pix), is known for combining bold flavors and textures into stunning, edible packages sold at her Portland, Ore. dessert oasis. Now, she shares her techniques, flavor combinations and whimsical design (along with a few parlor tricks!) in her acutely instructional cookbook, Modern French Pastry. Amazing looking and tasting desserts so explicably explained it will be a tossup as to who is more impressed - you or your guests! French pastry is a study in components. Cheryl breaks each recipe down into easy to follow subrecipes that can be done in advance for convenience and even interchanged with other recipes to create your own signature dessert. Instructions for classic French pastry recipes such as pâte á choux, tart doughs and meringues are combined with modern flavors and design. Blue Cheese Truffles anyone? A Moment of Zen takes the fruit tart to a new level with the addition of crème de cassis, blackberry coulis and raspberry mousse. And the éclairs? Cheryl fills them with Bourbon pastry cream and tops them with cherry jam. Think the dessert version of the Manhattan. For the adult ice cream social, there's a Beer Float recipe complete with caramelized malted barley dipped in chocolate. Simplify your life with instructional "Parlor Tricks" - cook lemon curd, temper chocolate and prepare pastry cream all in the microwave in minutes! Cheryl is not only a pastry chef extraordinaire but a teacher as well, offering the how's and why's to each recipe. Cheryl trained with MOF Philippe URRACA, a prestigious patisserie located in southern France. She has been featured in Thuries Gastronomie, Vogue, Le Journal du Patissier, World of Fine Wine, NYT Magazine, Food Network Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Bon Appétit. This book will has 41 recipes and 80 photos. Review: Beautiful book with approachable recipes for a gourmet home baker - This gorgeous cookbook makes incredible things and is good at making this impossible looking things approachable for a skilled home baker. Not a book for a beginner, but if you're looking to make entremet, I would recommend it. Review: Pro Review - Okay, I logged on to buy this book for a friend and saw some of the reviews and felt compelled to write my own. I bought this book because I'm a pretty good cook, I do it for a living, and I wanted to get some knowledge on the dessert side. I uploaded pics of a couple things I made from the book. I've never made Macaron before but I made these Strawberry Balsamic Mint Macs by following the simple directions in this book. Then I made the next cake with chocolate mousse, chocolate almond cake, brandied cherries, streusel and a tasty mirror glaze, which is all the rage in dessert world (IG search it), I didn't have any chocolate molds for the pictured super cool gold orb decor from the book so I just made my own decor by chocolate coating some of the streusel to make my "stepping stones" on my Martian Landscape. Notice the sparkle in the "rock" from luster dust, thats the minerals and why everyone wants to go to Mars. I digress. I felt like this book was really well written with good with directions in plain language for both kitchen pros and ambitious amateurs. I saw one review about plastic wrap tricks, it worked for me but I use a plastic wrap that says "food service film" because I'm a pro... anyway everything I've made out of this book has worked well for me and I'll say that everyone who's tried what I've made has been very pleased. Like I said the whole reason I was back here was to buy the book for a friend because I thought it was so good. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #416,056 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #91 in Pastry Baking (Kindle Store) #91 in Pastry Baking (Books) #96 in French Cooking | ## Images ![Modern French Pastry: Innovative Techniques, Tools and Design - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91dmpsxyUlL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful book with approachable recipes for a gourmet home baker *by S***D on September 6, 2023* This gorgeous cookbook makes incredible things and is good at making this impossible looking things approachable for a skilled home baker.

Aimed at the passionate amateur, readers wanting to perfectly recreate the recipes with all their components will need a very well equipped kitchen(scale, stand mixer, food processor, candy thermometer, etc) as well as a good number of pricey silicone molds. That being said, this book is gorgeous and incredibly inspiring. The "parlor tricks"(insider tips, such as using your microwave for pastry cream and chocolate tempering) alone make the book worth buying. The aesthetic is french rigor combined with a colorful, playful Portland hipster sensibility, and it totally works. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/107406984-modern-french-pastry-innovative-techniques-tools-and-design](https://www.desertcart.no/products/107406984-modern-french-pastry-innovative-techniques-tools-and-design) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
