Eclairs are the next trendy dessert making a big splash—The Food Network called them the 'next macaron' and in 'What’s Next for Food Trends in 2014,' they suggested looking out for 'Eclair ateliers; high-fashion Eclair; savory Eclair; and flavor forward varieties. . . .'
In this book from professionally trained pastry chef Charity Ferreira, there are 50 recipes for eclairs, profiteroles, and gougeres. These treats are a classic and beloved bakery item and the author shows here that making them is actually achievable at home. With three basic chapters (eclairs; cream puffs & profiteroles; gougeres and other savory snacks) plus introductory text on the basics and 'accessories' like pastry cream, bittersweet chocolate glaze, and those gorgeous shiny jewel-tone fruit glazes we’re seeing everywhere now, these recipes embrace the traditional while adding new flavours in unique and very delicious ways.
