The Zumbo files

Adriano Zumbo's name has become synonymous in Sydney (and many other parts of the world) for the epitome of skill in pastries and all things sweet and delicious.

For his third cookbook, oublished by Murdoch Books, top Sydney pastry chef Adriano Zumbo recreates some of the classic desserts we all grew up drooling over. As well as offering up his favourite recipes for these confections, he applies his Willy Wonka-esque genius to whipping each classic into a completely new and contemporary incarnation that plays on the original recipe.

As always, the colours are bright, the flavours unexpected, and the experience of recreating the fruits of his fertile imagination a complete delight. Each chapter focuses on a particular type of patisserie and the recipes in that chapter explore and experiment with different tastes, flavours, textures and colours. There are step- by-step instructions for the basic recipe for each patisserie type, then the recipes that follow are dazzling variations on that theme.

Perhaps not for the beginner cooks in the family, as some desserts have seven or eight separate processes which combine to create a sublime, albeit time-consuming result. It is a book that, with Brett Stevens' wonderful photographs, is as beautiful as the dishes themselves.
