Patisserie Gluten Free: The Art of French Pastry: Cookies, Tarts, Cakes, and Puff Pastries

Patisserie Gluten Free is the blossoming of years of recipe development and a lifelong love of baking. Patricia makes her swoon-worthy gluten-free pastries using ingredients from nearby farms, local purveyors, and her own backyard-complete with hens, honeybees, and edible flowers growing out back. From the French Apple Cake to the simple Chocolate Sea Salt Sablés, the results surprise and bring a smile to the staunchest of gluten-free skeptics.

This beautifully photographed cookbook is unique in presenting some of the tastiest treats made without gluten-classic French pastries. Home bakers will be able to create memorable European style desserts, ranging from the simple comfort of hand cookies to the ooh-la-la of elaborate puff pastries.
