    “It’s the kind of introduction to pastry that I wish someone had given me long ago, so I might have avoided all the tart- and pie-crust disasters that have plagued my kitchen over the years.” —Saveur 
     
    “Richard’s cookery school in Bath is one of the places to learn baking, but if you can’t get there, this book is the next best thing to sharpen up your pastry skills.” —BBC Good Food 
     
    “Delicious . . . Proving that everyone can cook pastry.” —Homes & Gardens

And despite the complexity of flavors and textures, all of the recipes are easy enough to make in home kitchens, requiring minimal effort for maximum results. Dazzle dinner-party guests with elegant showstoppers—Thai Tea White Chocolate Tart, Coconut Cream Pie with Toasted Jasmine Rice Crust—or delight the family with simple weeknight treats—Pomegranate Sherbet, Ginger Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.The Sweet Spot includes lush color photographs of almost all of the finished dishes, and a foreword from legendary restaurateur and chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
