Adding to my collection of  Rachel Khoo's cookbooks:
Rachel Khoo's Kitchen Notebook and My Little French Kitchen
On a puff pastry venture

(a) layering cut strips of pastry on the four edges  
(b) lightly scoring with sharp knife, a border 1/2 inch 
from edge of puff pastry squares (without cutting through)
Above: with hazelnut puree filling, nian kou filling, banana and pastis
and pastry cases
