In writing that brings to mind the work of journalist\/chef Michael Ruhlman, \u003ci\u003e Butter Cream: A Year in a Montreal Pastry School\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of eleven months of whipping, spreading and creaming in the pursuit of perfection. When Denise Roig set out to do this -- a lark, she thought -- she had no idea what it would cost and what it would give back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eButter Cream\u003c\/i\u003e is the chronicle of an intense year of learning and tasting, dramas at the stove and in the locker room. It's about fights, friendship and competition, fallen cakes and rising doughs. And sometimes, unexpectedly, it's about the sheer joy of baking. It's a memoir sprinkled with delicious pastry recipes that also includes trips back to Roig's mother's and grandmother's kitchens and to her own complicated relationship with all things sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Denise Roig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 189710930X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781897109304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Signature Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.30w x 0.70d","brand":"Denise Roig","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097088925951,"sku":"9781897109304","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/butter-cream-denise-roig-9781897109304","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
