Heart be still...in fact, trying the delectable delights in the program on Pastry & Desserts your heart might stop altogether. Jacques Pepin, master chef, teacher, and star of Today's Gourmet isn't really into counting calories or those sissy low-no fat recipes; uh-uh, he's living on the culinary edge, and boy can this guy culinate! This 5-volume set, indexed for easy reference, sports high production values, includes such wonderful tips as the secret of pitting an olive (and making chocolate leaves--yum!), and has the added bonus of catching a great French chef licking his fingers. The other titles in the set are: Knifework & Vegetables; Eggs, Fruit & Garnishes; Fish & Shellfish and Meat, Poultry & Wine. Highly recommended. Aud: C, P. (N. Plympton)
