Extra information:
Time: It is a traditional recipe book, and by traditional I mean that pastry to make croissant is 100% handmade so recipes are long and take time. Perfect to enjoy baking any of the recipes on a rainy Sunday.
There are lots of special recipes, spelt croissant or speculoos babka for example, classic recipes but with a twist.
Recipes are classic baking style recipes so expect lots of sugar, flour and butter.
Tips: Most of the recipes include tips at the end of the recipe/page. Thank you for that.
