Teatime in Paris!: A Walk Through Easy French Patisserie Recipes

If you have had the pleasure of enjoying teatime in one of the beautiful tea establishments in Paris, this is a book you will want to add to your collection of tea books. Lots of wonderful and easy to duplicate treats, beautiful photos. Put the kettle on and enjoy a cup of tea while turning the pages of this delightful book..

I am writing a review without having baked from this cookbook so I gave 4 stars. The pictures of the desserts, the descriptions of Paris and the photographs are beautiful and make you want to start baking and book a trip to Paris all at once. The recipes are not super hard but not easy. Not for a beginning baker, I don’t think. There are a lot of Choux recipes & some Macaron recipes, neither of which is easy to make so I look forward to seeing how these recipes pan out. But that said, every page in this book is lovely & I’m glad I bought it. It could be 5 stars assuming the recipes turn out.

This is a beautiful cookbook with a variety of recipes for teatime pastries. I didn’t know about the teatime custom in France until I read this book. There are all sorts of recipes – some of which look quite daunting to say the least, but I may give even those ones a try. I’d like to try out most of the recipes, which seem quite clear and are full of helpful photos.This book is also fun in that it’s a bit of a travel book – a sort of walking tour of some wonderful looking patisseries in Paris. The author lives in Paris and gives walking tours of patisseries throughout Paris. Can you imagine? That would be such incredible fun! As I read this, I had fond memories of our trip to Paris several years ago, and gosh, it makes me want to visit there again! This book is a gorgeous visual feast and would be a lovely gift for those who enjoy baking.

I read this cookbook cover to cover. Seems well written. I will, try recipes from this book. I have no experience with French baking, so I can't say how much value my me opinion is at this time. Mostly I bake quick bread and yeast breads and of course cookies. I sell them at a local Flea Market and to friends. So I bake a lot and read a lot of recipes. I only try the ones that make sense to me -- I am excited to try these recipes, that's my best assessment for now.

I found Jill on Instagram and fell in love with her photos of food, travel, and everyday life in France. Buying her books was the next logical step. Filled with scrumptious recipes and beautiful photos, this book is a delight to browse through. I am not much of a baker, so I cannot review the recipes yet, but the imagery holds me captive every time I pick up the book.P.S. My 10 yo daughter can't wait to try her hand at the pistachio and cherry kirsch choux puffs!

Teatime in Paris is a wonderful collection of beautiful pictures of French pastries and a wealth of information from an explanation of ingredients to a "sweets" walk to a chapter on baking essentials. The recipes are presented in a clear step-by-step form and include all the pastries I associate with the French. The Madeleines are delicious! I'm looking forward to using the many recipes for macaroons.

Got this book for my 11 yr old granddaughter who has been baking breads, cakes, pies, macarons, eclairs, madelines, BUT this book did not appear user-friendly to me, nor would be to her. Believe metric system is used throughout. After baking/cooking for 50 yrs plus, there is not a recipe in here I would think to try. Otherwise, it's a very pretty book to look at.

Nice book, beautiful pictures

Jill is delightful and the concept behind this book is great. If you have any issues with recipes or questions for her, she is easy to reach via her social media pages, so delicious French pastries can easily be yours in your own kitchen.The chocolate tart recipe from here is incredible.

I bought this for a gift for Christmas. I looked through it and was quite impressed but a lot of the recipes are a little repetitive - loads of macarons. I thought the patisserie would look a lot more attractive and fancy. I am sure my daughter will love working her way through the book though.Extras that I hadn't thought of, is that she doesn't have the requisite tins. All in all this add on gift is working out expensive!

My absolute favourite book!I've tried most recipes out of this book and all have turned out very good, it's explained in a way which just makes sense and is not overly complicated.Just watch you waistline with this book, it might start to expand as you start to try all the lovely recopies!

Made some of the recipes and the worked out very well.

This is a lovely little book, I love making the recipes and I really want to visit Paris to find the many cafes and shops recommended in here.
