Our collection caters to serious bakers, pastry chefs, and industry professionals. It features an extensive selection of baking cookbooks covering a wide range of topics, including professional bread-making, innovative pastry and baking creations, and complex pastry-making techniques.
Our books and magazines are carefully selected to provide you with the most up-to-date and practical information on baking and pastry arts. The works here offer detailed step-by-step instructions, comprehensive techniques, and helpful tips and tricks from industry experts, helping you improve your craft and hone your skills to perfection.
Books for professional pastry chefs offer a combination of ingenuity, imagination, and practicality. We import baking cookbooks from all over the world that showcase the talents of professional bakers so you can put their ideas and know-how to work in a pastry kitchen. Even if you never use a single recipe, these high-level books can inspire your own creativity.
The most inspiring pastry chef books can be highly technical manuals that explore complex processes in great detail. We think Sourdough Panettone and Viennoiserie by Thomas Teffri-Chambelland is a great example of this kind of professional pastry chef book. It includes several different methods for making the required dough, and it features insights from more than half a dozen specialty bakers.
As you look through our choices for great pastry books for chefs, please keep in mind that many of these books are imported from Europe, so they will often only have metric measurements by weight. They will not use American cups. Most professional pastry kitchens operate this way anyway, but we like to make it clear for our customers so they can choose the books most useful for them.
If you're a professional baker or pastry chef interested in books focusing on specific baking techniques, ingredients, or pastry styles, we can help you find books that provide inspiration, guidance, or new ideas for your creations.

I am trying to figure out if taking professional baking courses will be useful for me. I have been dreaming about formal training for a while now, and have an opportunity to take classes in the Certificate in Pastry Arts program at Newbury College in Boston. I am currently a stay at home mom, but also have a good profession and am not intending to work in the food industry. My son has a severe food allergy and I am motivated to become an excellent baker so I can bake for him, but it is also something I enjoy doing anyway, so getting comprehensive professional training appeals to me, as does being able to consistently make amazing desserts for parties that I like to give. My husband believes that professional training will prepare me to work in a commercial environment, but will not contribute much to my ability to bake at home. I believe that professional training is an overkill for my goals, but that I will find it useful and enjoyable. In addition, I was not able to find comprehensive courses for home bakers in my area (King Arthur is too far and ends up being super expensive when traveling and babysitting expenses are taken into consideration). I wonder if those of you who have had professional training could weigh in with your experience and opinion on this before I spend the time and the money.
The only way to really know is to find out about the program you're thinking about attending. That can be as simple as asking an admissions counselor, or as complicated as auditing a class (as I did before I started earning my baking and pastry certificate).
Formal training will cut years off of either becoming a professional baker or a very high end home baker. Most importantly.. because you enjoy baking, you're going to have a lot of fun doing it. It will expose you to aspects of baking that you'd probably never get to experience otherwise. You might find that working with chocolate and doing sugar work is right up your alley, or maybe cake decorating and pastillage. Whatever the case , it won't be a waste of time as it's something you'll be able to use for the rest of your life.
I am an amateur baker, but the word 'dreaming' in your post got my attention. If it is your dream, go for it! Or: just try it out for a few weeks/months, I'am sure that will be possible. You might not want to go back to wondering whether it is a good idea.
attending a bread making class at the SFBI at some point It would be even more expensive for me as I'm from Hong Kong. However, I'm a little concerned that it may be too advanced for me. I only bake during the occasional weekends and also attend cooking classes in my spare time but unfortunately they only offer basic bread courses. I'm hoping that by attending an intensive course, i may be able to pick up some bread making know-how that I wouldn't nornally be able to obtain from reading books. I do a lot of reading but nothing beats the actual hands-on experience esp when it come to feeling dough. I've been making bread for a short while only but my kneading and shaping skills are still far from being satisfactory.
Like you, I 'm not about to enter the food/catering industry (I'm nearing retirement age myself) but I know it'll be enjoyable and it's something that I've wanted to do even as a child. If time and money is not an issue, then I'd say go for it, if not now then maybe a few years later from now when your son is older and won't be needing a babysitter.
