Chinese Cookbooks
7.10.10
my collection of chinese cookbooks, mostly on french patisserie and translated from japanese. i hv alot more chinese than english ones coz its really difficult to find english books on french/japanese patisserie and entremets. most french or japanese books would usually be translated to chinese, seldom are they translated to english so i'm really glad i can read them. i spent a small fortune on these but its still much cheaper than going to pastry school :p
i usually buy my books from books kinokuniya, pageone @ vivocity but recently i've taken to buying them online from books.com.tw. they're really efficient and i usually receive my books within TWO days via DHL express. most books are usually cheaper but some would be more expensive. my latest buy is pierre herme's le larousse des desserts and le goût authentique retrouvé by hidemi sugino (in japanese). can't wait to put them into good use!

ReplyDeleteAh.. okay, so you can read chinese, I see, in any case, if there's anything you may need from here, let me know. I admire your skills, and I know how hard it is to get ingredients sometimes (Japan is SOOO expensive, esp raw cream.

看您的部落格多年了
ReplyDelete不知道您也是台灣人 :-D
Pierre Herme 的大師糕點我五分鐘前也剛剛從博客來訂購呢~
celina 你好，我不是台湾人，我是新加坡人 :-D 我觉得那本书还好而已，对我来说太简单了而且不便宜。但我超喜欢博客来，他们真的很 efficient!
