Essential techniques include pastry dough and tarts, cookies, puff pastry, breads and rolls, brioche, Danish pastry, cakes, and biscuits. Recipes include a chocolate meringue tart, ground beef empanadas, fig and raspberry croustades (see him making these on Martha), gruyere and walnut bread, pear and ginger cake, devil’s food bombe…

    I want to make whatever that quiche looking frittata thing is. It looks divine. Normally I bake savory dishes but I would really like to learn more desserts.

    I made my first loaf of bread a couple of weeks ago and can't wait to make more. I'd forgotten how good homemade bread tastes.
