Publication Date: October 2012
Description : All the know-how of the great pastry master Philippe Conticini, his overflowing creativity and his high technicality at the sole service of taste and pleasure, simple and true, presented in 300 original recipes – classic – playful – offbeat but always greedy and easy to make.
The great basics (creams, pastries, pastries.) explained in a playful way with step-by-step instructions. The great classics (cream puffs, millefeuille, Paris-brest, Saint-honoré.) reviewed and corrected by Philippe Conticini in 10 chapters organized by taste sensations. By playing with temperatures (iced, fresh, room temperature, hot, boiling), textures (crunchy, crispy, milky, sparkling, emulsified, soft, firm, melting, unctuous, topping), contrasts and states (solid, liquid, gaseous), he will give his desserts a different gustatory impression each time. For each recipe, there is an introductory cap that summarizes the spirit of the recipe, a clear and synthetic explanatory note on a particular aspect of the recipe (taste, texture, temperature, technique, specific product) and, of course, advice to help the reader succeed with all these desserts. For the most technical recipes, step-by-step instructions illustrate the main difficulties in making them. Easy and didactic, a double reading of the recipes will satisfy the enlightened amateurs as well as the professionals of the kitchen. Through this book, Philippe Conticini presents for the first time all of his pastries with such a unique taste.

Dior by Marc Bohan
195.00 € En savoir +BuyIcon Icon Opinion :
A slightly lesser-known figure than Yves Saint Laurent or John Galiano, Marc Bohan nevertheless contributed, from 1960 to 1988, to making Dior the highly revered house it is today. With his slightly more ethereal silhouettes, Marc Bohan left behind designs that are as sophisticated as they are timeless. And this book sheds new light on that period – a period documented and explained in the words of Jérôme Hanover, Christian Dior’s Director of Publications.
Authors: Jérôme Hanover, Laziz Hamani
Publishing House: Assouline
Publication Date: April 2018
Of all the great Parisian couture houses, Dior is perhaps the most famous and prestigious in the world, embodying Christian Dior’s sublime vision of femininity. Following the abrupt departure of Yves Saint Laurent, the understated elegance of Marc Bohan’s design outlook regrounded the house of Dior on its original foundation of soft, ladylike, feminine silhouettes, which appealed to women around the world, from American socialites and international celebrities to royalty.
Dior by Marc Bohan is the third volume in an unprecedented series of books devoted to each designer of a couture house, the ultimate compendium of the most memorable haute couture creations conceived and handcrafted by the renowned house of Dior since its inception. Carefully conserved in the world’s great museums and institutions, these fashion treasures have been photographed and exclusively compiled for this indispensable collection.
