Et Voila!: A Simple French Baking Love Story – Manon Lagrève 

Description: The Great British Bakeoff alumni and winner of the NYE 2023 special, Manon Lagrève, shares over 80 French classics – simplified or with a twist – for the modern baker.

In her debut cookbook, Et Voila!, Manon proves that elegant French baking does not have to be difficult or pretentious to make. With just a few basic pieces of baking equipment and Manon’s secret short-cuts, you too can master the French pastries and desserts of your dreams. This is a collection of her favourite family recipes, many of which were handed down by her mother and grandmothers, and are perfect for sharing with the people you love.

Whether you want to perfect the classics such as brioche, éclairs and macarons or whip up a galette or a clafoutis after a mid-week meal, there’s something for every baker and palate. French baking can be chic and simple, and whatever your baking skill, Manon will show you how.

Review

This is a wonderfully delectable book!
From cover to cover it is filled with the most evocative photographs, mouth-watering recipes and a wonderful sense of joy in creating utterly delicious food!
The content starts with desserts, which seems an excellent place to begin! Followed by, Cakes, Pastries, Afternoon Snack, Sweets and Biscuits and Petits Extras (accompaniments).
The recipes are sublime, containing every French baking treat you could possibly imagine, beautifully photographed in wonderful surroundings, bringing to life the wonderful history of Manon’s family recipes.
From classics such as brioche, éclairs, madeleines, macarons to mini Croque en Bouche or a stunning Frasier this is a wonderful selection.
Manon’s enthusiasm and passion for baking shines through every page, and as the title illustrates, it really is a love story about French baking.
A beautiful gift for every lover of sweet treats, French baking, or simply a love of life! One of our Favourite books of 2023!
Very Highly Recommended!
