Summary: 50 Ways to Puff Up Your Life (or Cooking)
Comment: There are more things to do with puff pastry than one may think. Whether you use frozen or make it yourself, pastry shell may be one of the more overlooked, versatile ingredients in the chef's arsenal. Puff has 50 recipes (including two pastry versions) separated in three sections - Appetizers and Snacks, First Courses and Main Dishes, and of course Desserts, Cookies and Sweet Pastries. None of the recipes themselves are difficult (except maybe for doing the dough from scratch, and with frozen dough, that's not a stumbling block), and some are surprisingly original in interesting ways (smoky-sweet chorizo pockets). There are a number of "tarts", and the most interesting ones were to be found in the first courses and main dishes (the Saffron-scented seafood tart as an example). This isn't a cookbook you'd use on a daily basis, but you may find yourself flipping through it once a week, looking for something with that right amount of crunch.
