Pastry, by pastry chef and photographer Madison Andropolis, is a visually stunning pastry cookbook that showcases the author’s original pastry recipes alongside her own editorial-style photography. From cozy café style bakes to refined plated desserts, each recipe is designed to be accessible and approachable for both home bakers and professional pastry chefs, with measurements provided in both Imperial and Metric units.

The book is divided into three sections: Café Pastries, Plated, and Create — a comprehensive guide that walks readers through the process of creating their own plated dessert. Throughout the book, Madison shares travel stories that inspired her bakes, glimpses into her personal pastry notebook, and a behind-the-scenes look into the art of dessert design.

Whether you’re baking at home, working in a professional kitchen, or simply looking for an aesthetic cookbook to display on your coffee table — Pastry offers delicious recipes, technical insight, and inspiring photography. It’s a celebration of creativity, culture, passion, and the sweet organized chaos of dessert design.
