The cookbook comes wrapped in a pretty and sturdy Laduree box, complete with tissue paper. The book itself has a padded velvet cover with gilded page edges and is truly beautiful, as are all the illustrations. It is not for beginners because the directions assume that the cook is acquainted with certain procedures, but if you a reasonably experienced baker, you will enjoy making a lot of the recipes. Some are quite complex but there are many that do not take all that much time and turn out truly impressive. I have tried the Creme Brulee with Orange Flower Water, the Strawberry Mascarpone Tart, the Cherry Clafouti and the Rice Pudding, all of which are easy and delicious. I have also made the Intensely Chocolate Cake which turned out spectacular but took quite a long time to make. This is definitely a special occasion cake. I am looking forward to trying a number of other recipes but not all because some call for ingredients that are not easily available in my area. As mentioned in my title, it is fun to just look through the book and read the recipes.... they remind me so much of Paris. I am happy to have it.

You have to see to believe how beautiful this book is!
Filled with great recipes from the wonderful Laduree tearoom in Paris. If you have ever been there you will appreciate this collection.
This book is so nice it deserves it's own special place to be displayed, yet used often for those special dinners you like to serve.
