I wanted this book so much and had to have it now, that I foolishly bought it in Australia at the bookstore. Even with the vagaries of the Australian dollar and Amazon.com's shipping charges I could have waited and had it for half the price. But I just couldn't wait, and haven't for a moment regretted my (A$54) outlay. It's worth every cent. Splendid recipes -- both sweet and savory, references to places of origin, superb photos. If like me, you have a fear of pastry buy this book and open up a whole new world of menus for yourself. I defy anyone not to work their way through the entire book and be eating French tarts for a month. Then start again and see if you can do them better! Bon appetit.

I have lived in France for a number of years and know about tarts . With the help of this book you can make tarts just as wonderfull as you can savour them in the best french bistro's I consider it a must for every amateur chef , and even most professionals could benefit from it
Favorite French tarts by a French person June 14, 2009

I am French and live in the USA. I love this book which I've had for 10 years. The best crusts and great recipes, traditional or not. Yes, there is a mistake in the zucchini pie but it's easy to figure out which one they mean. This is actually the recipe I wanted to make today when I realized I lent my book to a friend and may as well get a new one for myself. The fresh fruit tarts are so good it never fails to wake up my children memories. Enough photos, I would say this is not a beginner book. For any French living in the USA, this book has the advantage to give you French recipes with US measurements and ingredients you can find in your grocery store for the best results.
Excellent variety of recipes and techniques April 12, 1999

The five recipes I have prepared so far from this book are very nice. However, I think that the recipe for zuccini tomato tart contains and error as it calls for a cookie crust.
