And we must admit that with the temperatures seriously refreshing, we are not against a cuddly book that allows us to realize the sweetness of our favorite imaginary universes. In total, 50 recipes are offered in this 160-page book combining photos and instructions.
In the candy pink box (it was easy that one), the recipes are classified according to the universe to which they belong:science fiction, fantasy, manga, fantasy, comics or video games. And everyone can find a recipe within their reach and/or from a universe that speaks to them. Pretty trendy Sailor Moon ? Try the chocolate and mascarpone Tuxedo Cake! No... You're more Harry Potter ? The Molasses Pie looks divine. Always not ? Well, no one will say no to a delicious donut from the Simpsons ! Matrix, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Harley Quinn, Zelda, Spirited Away, Narnia, Men in Black, One Piece, Game of Thrones, Kaamelott … When we tell you that everything is there! We fell in love with the homemade chocolate bars, Charlie and the Chocolaterie style . Before the recipes, there is a short guide to the basics of pastry (useful if, like us, you are not (yet) a chef!) and each part ends with a glossary containing the essential terms and giving some good tips along the way. found. And as in every Gastronogeek book, the photos are magnificent and we recognize each universe well.
In short, Christmas is coming (we say that, we say nothing…)!
