[edit] 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)

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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)
