This gorgeous new baking book contains beloved classics and
contemporary treats, from passionate baker and food editor Kim Laidlaw
and America's most revered bakeries and bloggers. Stunning, full-color
photographs throughout bring it all to life. A mixture of nostalgia and
fun, it is directed at both experienced bakers or anyone who might be
curious about baking; there's something here for everyone.
Favorites like caramel whoopie pies, sour cherry "toaster" tarts, deep
dark chocolate cupcakes stuffed with marshmallow cream and glazed with
ganache, and gooey s'mores brownies will take the reader back to
childhood. Modern twists on classic comfort foods such as brown butter
pound cake with fresh fig compote, flaky rhubarb turnovers, and creme
brulee with caramelized blood oranges; and old family favorites like
maple pumpkin pie, brown-sugar banana bread, and chocolate crinkle
cookies will entice and inspire anyone to get in the kitchen and start
baking.
