Les petits sweets: two-bite desserts from the French pâtisserie

Description

The French way is the petite treat: two delicious bites-just a taste-of a sablE, madeleine, petit four, nougat, caramel, or other dessert that packs a sweet punch. With the tiny desserts featured in Les Petits Sweets, you can taste more than one, or have a dessert-tasting party to try them all. And try them you must: with flavors like Earl Grey, lavender, cardamom, cassis, apple-yuzu, and more, it will be impossible to choose just one. Classic French techniques explain each recipe from start to finish. Go ahead, have dessert first.;Intro; Title Page; Copyright; Contents; INTRODUCTION; BAKING TIPS; FINANCIERS; Orange-Hazelnut Financiers; Coffee-Cardamom Financiers; Cashew-Curry Financiers; CURRY POWDER; MADELEINES; Black Pepper-Sour Cream Madeleines; Lemon-Anise Madeleines; Chestnut Madeleines; Pear-Rosemary Madeleines; Banana-Brown Sugar Madeleines; Fig-Fennel-Mascarpone Madeleines; TEA CAKES; Almond-Brandied Cherry Tea Cakes; BRANDIED CHERRIES; Raspberry-Vanilla Tea Cakes; Chocolate-Prune Tea Cakes; SAVARINS; Base Savarin Recipe; VANILLA CRÈME CHANTILLY; Raspberry-Tarragon Savarins; Caramelized Banana-Rum Savarins.
