Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Chocolate oatmeal cookies

    • jbuchman on April 28, 2013

      Page 558. These burn very quickly on the bottom, so use parchment or a silpat, and a light-colored baking sheet.

  • Almond shortbread cookies

    • twoyolks on December 18, 2017

      The cookies are nice but I found them to be just a bit dry.

  • Banana bread pudding

    • twoyolks on December 10, 2016

      This took a long time to set and the ratio of liquid to bread didn't seem to be correct. It also didn't taste particularly good.

  • Country apple galette

    • chawkins on March 19, 2020

      Love this. The filling was sweetened with just a couple tablespoons of honey and one and half tablespoons of sugar to let the apples shine, the short crust was crisp and airy and quite easy to work with. I used a mix of granny Smith and pink lady apples.

    • Larkspur on February 25, 2021

      Delicious and the bottom crust was fairly crisp

  • Apple tart with almond filling

    • emiliang on November 12, 2013

      A wonderfully rustic tart. Used ground hazelnuts instead of almonds. Transports you to the northern European countryside. If using a tart pan, three large apples will suffice. Great for entertaining at home, as it can be prepared well ahead of serving time. Check the oven after 50 minutes.

  • Chocolate, walnut, and cherry cookies

    • mpo on January 28, 2021

      These came out cake like which is nice to have such a big cake cookie. But the recipe did not include salt. I thought about adding it, but who am I to second guess Jacques Pepin! But, in the end, they needed salt...
