Not sure if this is the right fit?

Consider French Patisserie by FERRANDI Paris.

“Hands-on, photo-rich and technical, this volume reads like a culinary-school manual for French pastry. Its useful part is rigorous, step-by-step recipes and troubleshooting for laminated doughs, creams, choux and plated desserts — useful when you need exact temperatures, timings and assembly photos. The main limitation is that many recipes presume professional equipment, patience, and long timelines; the pace can feel meticulous and unforgiving if you're after quick weeknight baking. No guided practice exercises; it functions as a reference rather than a paced course.”
