Books by Russell van Kraayenburg

Pastry baking requires a combination of creativity and science. Ready, Set, Dough! Is a guide to finding the right balance. Its friendly, visual approach organizes the pastries by dough--the ratio of ingredients that defines it, how to make it, and the range of recipes you can make with it. And after you've mastered the ratios, it's time for the creativity: the recipes will be accompanied by plenty of variations and tips for making your own versions. Author Russell van Kraayenburg will introduce the science of simple ratios, diagrams, and explanations so you understand how to build your dough. Once the mystery is gone, it's time for the creativity--so look for Apple Chipotle Hand Pies, Cinnamon Custard Eclairs, and much more!
