Instructions Manual

I think this recipe ought to be a wikibook, rather than a wikipedia article. Wikipedia is not a place for instructions manuals (seeWP:ISNOT).80.42.103.163 10:05, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Always a problem with food-related articles. But in this case there's a lot to talk about - the history, different applications and so on, it's a fairly basic concept for the Food Project. FlagSteward 20:10, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Careme to Creme

I have a sneaking suspicion that the name 'cream puff' or 'creme puff' is derived from something like 'Careme Puff,' possibly named after Marie-Antoine Careme. I have no proof of this, but the Careme/Creme thing seems like much more than a coincidence. Does anyone have any ideas regarding this? Dasai Montale (talk) 07:46, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article Weakness

I know that there is a lot more history to Choux than the little bit I was able to coax out of my book collection and my memory. It definitely needs expansion. I think a proper explanation of how Choux works without devolving into a recipe walkthrough would help. Any other ideas out there? Dasai Montale (talk) 07:56, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Michael Ruhlman in the book Ratios and perhaps also in the Elements of Cooking goes on at length about Choux (see: http://blog.ruhlman.com/ruhlmancom/2009/04/ratio-the-simpl.html). There is discussion of how it works and what you can do with it. Vargob (talk) 13:05, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

popelins and women's breasts

I scanned the last dozen or so edits and this does not seem to be vandalism. I also do not speak French, but the reference listed does not say that popelins resemble breasts (only that they are puffs) and a google image search does not show anything that looks particularly like that part of the anatomy. If a reference cannot be found and listed, it should be changed. Vargob (talk) 13:13, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Beignets

The word "beignet" is not familiar to many people, so it may be an idea if it gets a wikilink to the Wikipedia article on this topic. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 10:44, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
