French Pasty with a Twist

French Pastry with a Twist

Classic French pastry and dessert recipes reimagined through unexpected flavor combinations, creative presentations, and modern variations for the home baker in this beautifully photographed cookbook.

Molly Wilkinson is living the dream—a Texas girl transplanted to France, who studied at Le Cordon Bleu and earned a pastry certification, teaches classes from a baking studio located in her eighteenth-century apartment in Versailles, and now has a second cookbook on French pastries and sweets. What a fantasy come true!

Molly uses her signature step-by-step techniques, detailed explanations, and easy-to-find equipment and ingredients to inspire home bakers at every level with inventive twists on classic French desserts, from nostalgic American-inspired flavors to elegant seasonal reinterpretations. French Pastry with a Twist, with approximately 80 recipes, includes a chapter covering the basics for French baking followed by chapters for tart & zesty, fresh & fruity, crisp & crunchy, nutty, rich & creamy, spicy, and holidays.
