Without sounding like a geek – oooh yes.
You do have to be really precise with pastry, as it can be a cruel thing. They call it a science because a very slight error in your ingredients can have a very big effect on the quality of your pastry. You can get away with slip ups in some cooking techniques, but not with pastry.
You should have seen the mess I made of the kitchen, the first time I had a go at making puff pastry from scratch. My wife wasn’t best pleased 🙂
Baking is a real hobby in our house. Definitely recommend it. If you want to start, just look for a good cookbook with a pastry section. The recent Great British Bake Off one is good.

Online there is also videojug which has a step by step video guide to cooking. I guess pastry will be on there.
