At the CCC Library, there is a wonderful collection of resources for the culinary student. Here are three of the latest books I have read.

My Sweet Mexico is a collection of authentic recipes from Mexico. There are many familiar favorites as well as new to me recipes. Each recipe is accompanied with a description of origin and interesting information.

In the Sweets from the Convent, I am interested in Mexican Wedding Cookies. From Sweet Breads, I like Churros. There is a killer Tres Leche Cake in the Desserts section I know I want to try.

There are many recipes and ingredients to explore.

I am I IN LOVE!! Je t'dore! The Art of French Pastry is packed with divine creations! I want to make pastries for the rest of my life!!

This is the first book I feel compelled to purchase for my own. I wanted to make most of the recipes in this book. The narrative included with the recipes is enjoyable and informative.

I want to begin with the pastry creams first and work up!! Can't write, must bake!!

This book has 80 bread recipes from renown French Baker Eric Kayser. The recipes cover the basic breads such as baguettes and batards and are designed for the home baker. The instructions are well formatted with no fluff: The Basics.
