  • Ryland, Peters & Small Ltd ScandiKitchen: Fika and Hygge: Comforting Cakes

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisA follow-up to the successful 'The ScandiKitchen' (published September 2015), this new book from Brontë Aurell features over 60 recipes for cakes, bakes and treats from all over Scandinavia. From indulgent cream confections to homely and comforting fruit cakes and traditional breads, sweet buns and pastries. FIKA is a Swedish word meaning to meet up for a cup of coffee or tea over something delicious. It is also the word for the delicious treats themselves. Swedes traditionally stop twice a day for fika: taking a much-needed break from the daily grind. People fika with family, colleagues, friends, children and even go on fika dates. HYGGE (pronounced hue-guh) is a word that originated in Norway but is now mainly used in Denmark. It means ’a sublime state of cosiness you feel when you are with loved ones and nothing else matters’. Hygge can be enhanced by the addition of a log fire, a good film, a cup of something warm and a sweet treat…hence the ideal combination of the two terms. Chapters are divided into Biscuits and Cookies, Tray and No bakes, Everyday Fika, Little Fancy Cakes, Celebration Cakes and Bread and Batters. This beautifully illustrated, authentic guide is a celebration of Scandinavian baking in all its glory. It is evocative of cosy days shared with friends, slowing down and taking the time to enjoy simple, homemade, wholesome pleasures - encouraging a lifestyle to aspire to. With features on special Scandi winter celebrations, their baking traditions and how to bring fika and hygge into your life.

  • A Treatise on the Art of Bread-making: Wherein,

    Prospect Books A Treatise on the Art of Bread-making: Wherein,

    Book SynopsisA treatise on the Art of Bread-Making is England''s first complete book on the subject. Published in London in 1805, it was the work of a medical man, little known for any other books, save a couple of pamphlets on gout and sore throats and fever, which he observed in his native Uxbridge in Middlesex. His book on bread is by no means medical, but rather an entertaining and instructive tour through the whole process of bread-making from growing and harvesting the wheat, to developing satisfactory yeasts, running an effective bakehouse and investigating a whole variety of recipes for breads made not only from wheat, but also other grains, potatoes and rice. The book ends with a resume of current laws relating to the sale of bread and an appendix containing the witness statements to a parliamentary committee on baking in 1804. This is a modern transcription of the original, now exceptionally rare and costing more than $1,500 in the antiquarian book trade. There is a short introduction, but otherwise no editorial matter. An earlier version of this transcript was published by Prospect Books in 1993, but the edition is long since exhausted and the clamor for a reprint from enthusiasts of break-making has been loud. The literature of bread-making in Britain is by no means as full as that on the continent of Europe. Because baking was a trade craft, practiced by people barely on the verge of literacy, most instructions and technical lore were transmitted by word of mouth from master to apprentice down through the years. These instructions were deemed "secrets" and the very idea of publishing them in a printed book would have been anathema. For this reason, there are surprisingly few recipes in domestic cookery books of the period, the authors reckoning that cooks would leave it to the bakers. The literature did not really kick off until the Victorian period, and only rose to a flood in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. After Edlin, the next person to tackle the subject was a trained baker in 1828; the value, therefore of this first book is especially great, as no others exist.

    Book SynopsisThis book was the cookery writer Geraldene Holt’s first work, and is the result of years of baking for the Women''s Institute stall in a nearby Devon market town. People soon recognised that here was a talent for writing books that helped in the kitchen and that here was a great collection of recipes that scored bullseye after bullseye. Most people’s copies of this have started to fall apart after thirty years of baking. A new edition that took into account some changes in taste and some improvements in technique seemed to be called for. Prospect is honoured to have the chance to publish this reworking, not least because all my children have been brought up on its teatime treats. Cakes don’t really need pictures, they need reliable instructions. These are here in spades: from tray bakes to fruit cakes, to sponges and biscuits, teacakes to scones, little morsels for a mouthful to great big Christmas specials.

    Book Synopsis'An evocative mix of history, food and storytelling.' EVENING STANDARD BEST FICTION 2021'a heart-warming, heart-breaking story of love, life, family and, of course, baking.' RUTH HOGANCyprus in the run up to the civil war of the 1970s... the threat of it hangs in the atmosphere like a fine mist. A terrible thing, war. Against this backdrop of war and violence, the island's inhabitants make the best they can of their lives, building friendships, falling in love, having children, watching people die, making mistakes.Maria Petrakis, however, flees a brutal marriage on the island where she has always lived for London and a new start. She opens a bakery on Green Lanes in Harringay - the centre of the small Greek Cypriot community whose residents have settled there to escape the war and start again. Here she comes into her own as she heals and atones through the kneading of bread and the selling of shamali cakes and cinnamon pastries to her customers.There are glimpses of the lives of her neighbours, friends and customers as they buy their bread and cakes. There's Mrs Koutsouli, whose heart was broken when her handsome son married a xeni, an English woman with fish-eyes and yellow hair. There's Mrs Pantelis, driven half-mad with the grief of losing her son, Nico, in the war. And there's Mrs Vasili who claims to be related to Nana Mouskouri and grows her hair upwards so she can feel closer to God. Finally, there's Elena, Maria Petrakis' daughter-in-law, who has been suffering with the blackness since having a baby, and whom nobody knows quite how to help.The Making Of Mrs Petrakis is a story about the limited choices women sometimes find themselves confronting. It's a story about repression and mental illness and the devastation it can wreak on lives. But above all, it is a story of motherhood and love and of healing through the humble act of baking.Trade ReviewThe Making of Mrs Petrakis is a heart-warming, heart-breaking story of love, life, family and, of course, baking. Mary Karras is a fresh and exciting new voice in fiction and her prose is every bit as delicious as the mouth-watering pastries sold in Mrs Petrakis' renowned bakery. * Ruth Hogan, author of THE KEEPER OF LOST THINGS *This is a charming story about the power of baking and community that can't help but raise your spirits and make you very hungry for a pastry or two! * Yours, Editors Pick *An evocative mix of history, food and storytelling. * Evening Standard *

Her. . . recipes inspire in me a gratitude akin to what I experience flying from New York to California, when I think of the American pioneers: Just as I get to enjoy in mere hours a trip that required my hardy forebears arduous years to complete, I imagine that I’m benefitting from [Woyan’s] extensive trial and error in her own kitchen. . . . With [Woyan] as our guiding star, we have baked not only cake but also muffins and pancakes and cookies, pies and doughnuts and pretty much every other tooth-rotting, decadent dessert that makes childhood, and life, sweeter. (One of [Woyan’s] secret weapons is shortening, about which she writes, ‘If plain Crisco was good enough for James Beard, it’s good enough for me.’)” —Curtis Sittenfeld, Slate "We love. . . The Food Allergy Mama’s Baking Book. . . with its dozens of delicious dairy-, egg-, and nut-free recipes." —Parenting "Chances are, someone in your office or your kid’s class is vegan, lactose-intolerant, or allergic to half the ingredients in your famous snickerdoodles. Learn to whip up all your favorites without eggs, dairy or nuts—and in most cases, with less fat." —Shape "[Woyan’s] Web site is loaded with useful recipes and tips for handling food allergies at home and in school. . . . To try her recipes (such as the banana chocolate chip muffins shown here), check out her blog or her book, The Food Allergy Mama’s Baking Book: Great Dairy-, Egg-, and Nut-Free Treats for the Whole Family.” —Disney Family Fun magazine “This hot-off-the-presses gem is a baking basic for moms raising kids with food allergies. The whole family will enjoy the recipes, though there’s a focus on dealing with birthday parties and allergy-free treats for school.” —Library Journal “[Woyan's] tips for baking, reading labels, and allergy-sensitive entertaining, as well as her allergy-friendly product suggestions, will be a boon to anyone who shops and cooks for family members at risk from common allergens.” —Today’s Diet and Nutrition "A welcome addition to my culinary library, and I’m looking forward to using it on a regular basis." —Barbara Revsine, Edible Chicago

Cake Decorating for Beginners combines nuggets of advice and popular projects from books in the Modern Cake Decorator series. You are taken through the whole process from the initial bake to icing your cake with those final embellishments. Expert cake decorators Christine Flinn, Sandra Monger and Stephanie Weightman pool their knowledge to help you with stencilling, using cutters, piping and painting.Trade ReviewVery well presented book with excellent photography and clear instruction. Yes, you would need to buy some tools but if you wished to progress with cake decorating as a hobby you would need them regardless. Excellent book to kick start a great new hobby. -- Helen Skinner * Customer review *This book is a gem! Great, easy to understand step by step instructions, with lots of lovely photos. I have already made one of the projects and it turned out really well, (and even looked like the picture in the book!) A great book if you are new, or even experienced in cake decorating. -- Sally-Ann Walters * Customer review *The first thing to mention is that this book contains material from previous Search Press books, so if you own 'Painting Flowers on Cakes', 'Stencilling on Cakes', 'Using Cutters on Cakes' or 'Piping on Cakes' this might not be the book for you. The book is well illustrated and contains many helpful hints and tips but many of the projects seem to need a lot of equipment suggesting it is aimed at bakers with some experience rather than complete beginners. The authors have given permission for the projects in the book to be used for selling for charity which is a nice touch. -- Nicola Urmenyi * Customer review *I love this book. It is a great step by step guide to cake decorating for beginners or advanced cake decorating. The cake designs are modern and there’s something for all occasions. So many new skills and techniques. Brilliant book. -- Julie Meggitt * Customer review *There are some lovely designs for cakes in this book, but extra specialist equipment is required for most designs that the usual amateur home baker may not have in their cupboard, e.g. stencils, brushes, moulds etc. There are a couple of designs in this book that I have seen before in other books, but if you are new to cake decorating books this one contains a range of skills to try so may be good for a starter book. -- Emily Mattam * Customer review *This is a useful guide for beginners with easy to follow step-by-step instructions and photos. Lots of different techniques featured but you will need to buy additional materials to get started with most ideas. There is a useful guide for the materials you will need and handy templates in the back of the book. -- Samantha Ripley O'Donnell * Customer review *Search Press has two baking titles out this autumn. Ideal for new starters, Cake Decorating for Beginners (£12.99) combines nuggets of advice and popular projects from across the Modern Cake Decorator series.
