"Finally, an antidote to cupcake fatigue . . . shows how �clairs can serve as a base for everything from ice cream sandwiches to lobster rolls."--Entertainment Weekly

Move over, macarons; catch you later, cupcakes: �clairs are the new pastry du jour. Delicious and adorable--and fun to make at home--these tiny treats are the perfect vehicles for all your favorite flavors (sweet and savory). Here, pastry chef Jenny McCoy shares incredible recipes for �clairs and all their relatives: cream puffs, profiteroles, Paris-Brests, religieuses, goug�res, and more. The best part is that all of these creations are made from the same simple choux pastry: Once you master the basic recipe, it's endlessly customizable, from Lemon Meringue �clairs to "Whoopie Puffs" to New England "Lobster Rolls." Recipes include traditional, fruity, chocolate, frozen, savory, and holiday-themed iterations, some classic, some clever--but all irresistible.
