Full of heart and consideration for our future generations, it’s reflective of society’s demands to be sustainable; an emerging movement in both professional and home kitchens that will continue to grow exponentially thanks to Phil’s work. With tenacity, passion and drive, Phil is a hero in our industry, not to mention one of the kindest people I know. * Kirsten Tibballs *Phil takes you on an adventure through the classic recipes of patisserie and baking, transforming them into plant-based creations that will leave you amazed. * Adriano Zumbo *Phil Khoury has done it! This book is a game changer on so many levels; the skill and expertise required to create so many wonderful recipes in a way that’s accessible to the home baker shows on every page. This is a book that I can’t wait to start using and improving my knowledge on plant-based baking. Bravo Phil! * Ravneet Gill *Philip Khoury's book is a must have for anyone who loves to bake. Super insightful into plant-based alternatives with instructive and clear recipes that, regardless of your level of baking, are easy to understand.

A beautifully designed book that opens a wide door for vegans, those who are lactose intolerant - and curious cooks who just love excellent bakes and desserts. * Mark Diacono, Delicious Magazine *Philip Khoury's book is such a revelation. How he injects such richness and crunch into his plant-based pastry and lightness into his eggless sponges is little short of a miracle. I've done side by side comparisons of his dairy and non-dairy tiramisu and brownies and, honestly, it's hard to tell the difference. I'm not saying this is the future of baking, but if it is, we've got nothing to worry about. * The Times *

Book SynopsisJames Beard Award–winning writer Aleksandra Crapanzano shares the secrets of the cakes Parisians bake at home, from the simplest yogurt cakes to a deceptively easy bûche de Noël, from yuzu madeleines to boozy flourless chocolate confections. When we think of French desserts, we tend to imagine ornate creations and confections. Perhaps we envision a tarte Tatin, but rarely a homemade cake, whipped up on a weeknight with little fuss. But that is exactly what Parisians make and eat. Gâteaux are simple, delicious cakes, both sweet and savory, served to family and friends. As food-columnist Aleksandra Crapanzano spent time in Parisian home kitchens, she realized that the real magic is a certain savoir-faire, that distinctly French know-how that blends style and functionality in every aspect of life. By and large, the French do not try to compete with their chefs, nor with their boulangeres and patissieres. But many Parisians are natural cooks, and most finish dinner with a little something sweet, effortlessly made and casually served. The trick is having an arsenal of recipes that, once mastered, become blueprints, allowing for myriad variations, depending on what’s in season and what’s in the cupboard. It is a practical approach, and the French are nothing if not practical. That is the savoir-faire—from tying a silk scarf just so to popping a gateau in the oven without anyone even noticing. When you know what you’re doing, there’s no need to overthink it. It looks easy because it is easy. While the Paris culinary world is experiencing a fresh vibrancy, certain traditions remain intact yet may surprise in their modernity. For example, French cakes have less sugar. The pure taste of apples is not masked by cinnamon, and vanilla is never a given. A gateau may be lightly glazed, dusted with cocoa or confectioners’ sugar, drizzled with rose water, but rarely heavily iced. A splash of brandy, a squeeze of lemon or a thin blanket of ganache elevates even the easiest of cakes in mere minutes. And then there are savory cakes made with cheese, herbs, ham, baked into a delicious loaf. These cakes salés are ideal for picnic lunches, accompanied by a salad and a glass of Sancerre. Gâteau includes cakes for birthdays, summer feasts and winter holidays, last-minute dinner parties and school lunches, as well as beloved regional recipes and guest contributions from superstar Parisian bakers. Practical, simple, and filled with over 100 rigorously tested recipes and charming illustrations, Gâteau celebrates every day and sometimes fanciful French cakes in all their glory.Trade Review“Offers up over 150 French cake recipes, from savory to sweet, each one eminently do-able…wherever you are. Aleksandra really understands French home baking.” —David Lebovitz “If, like me, you get a little giddy around French cakes, take a look at Gateau. My copy has so many stick notes that I can barely close it.” —Melissa Clark “Channel your inner Parisian and serve simple, yet stylish cakes with these tips.” —Martha Stewart “Delightfully charming . . . featuring beguiling illustrations . . . [the cakes are] unfussy and easy to throw together, and as delicious as promised.” —The Washington Post "Goes beyond recipes to make a bigger argument about how ease and simplicity define French baking culture.” —The Atlantic “A smart, charming new book on French cakes... Got an urge to bake and simultaneously submerge yourself in French culture? Gateau will enchant you.” —The Boston Globe “Crapanzano has the secret to confidently, casually chucking a cake in the oven while you pour yourself another glass of wine and get back to the table... In Gâteau, she shares her Rolodex of fantastic French cakes that you won’t spend three days psyching yourself out over.” —GOOP “While the recipes are serious and many, the mood is every bit as playful and enchanting as the Paris afternoon of your frilliest fantasies.” —Fodors “Want to make stunning French pastries at home with little fuss?... Flip through whimsical illustrations and charming anecdotes, and learn how to make a simple gâteux sing.”—Epicurious “Aleksandra nails what's so inimitable about the French and how they just casually throw together a showstopper.” —Edible LA “Shares the secrets to culinary savoir faire in charmingly illustrated pages... streamlined recipes rooted in classic techniques serve as blueprints for myriad variations based on the season or what’s in the cupboard.” —Atlanta Journal Constitution “Charming... endlessly adaptable.” —Jenny Rosenstrach, Cup of Jo “Her fabulous recipes will have you wooing your friends with a whole range of sweet delicacies.” —Nancy Silverton, chef and co-owner of Mozza Restaurant Group “Chic, charming, and delectable... Everything about it—delicious writing, lyrical illustrations, and the recipes for cakes simple and seductive—conspires to bring joy. Gâteau is enchanting.” —Dorie Greenspan, author of Baking with Dorie “An utterly delightful compendium of simple French bakes.”—Garden & Gun

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewJason’s love of shaking up tradition is evident. Adding fruits to bolster flavors in familiar baked goods is groundbreaking . . . steering us to experiment, try new combinations of flavors, and expand our baking vocabulary. — From the foreword by Martha Stewart There are many superlatives that can be used to describe Jason Schreiber as a person, a baker, a cake designer, an artist, and now a writer. But here’s my favorite: Jason is simply delightful. This book will not only teach you how to bake better, it will make you feel good. — Ron Ben-Israel, cake designer and television host This exquisitely designed cookbook offers an update to the fruit cake, that retro Christmas classic.

But these creative recipes put a fresh, fruity spin on much-loved favourites. . . . Taking familiar baking recipes, Schreiber adds unexpected fillings to create flavour combinations as diverse as the stories behind them: think pomegranate molasses cake, blueberry ginger muffins and passionfruit lime pavlova. — Stylist (UK)

Her cakes have been at the center of some of our most cherished family moments." -- Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex - New York Times"Claire Ptak, the California-born owner of Violet Bakery in London, brings her seasonal West Coast sensibility to a classic roster of British desserts in Love Is a Pink Cake, her second cookbook. The results are dazzling, at once innovative and homey. Her rice pudding—a creamy, easy-to-make marvel that calls for toasting the rice in brown butter before baking it in cream—has become my go-to recipe. Buy this for the baker in your life, and hope they’ll thank you with bakewell bars or apricot chamomile scones." -- Melissa Clark - New York Times"Delightful . . . Claire has also given us a very delicious recipe for a dessert of muscat wine and raspberries, which I have already bookmarked for my own Easter lunch." -- Nigel Slater - Guardian"Indispensable . . . Not only is Ptak’s book compelling—her baking is excellent." -- Rachel P. Kreiter - Eater"Love Is a Pink Cake offers glimpses of Ms. Ptak’s personality, as well as of her personal life . . . Rich in color (a pistachio-green plum cake with candied violets) and texture." -- Emilia Petrarca - New York Times"It’s the transferable wisdom that makes Love Is A Pink Cake invaluable . . . And you will find that even the classics—yellow sheet cake with chocolate frosting, treacle tart with whipped cream—can be improved upon by following Ptak’s advice." -- Hayley Maitland - Vogue"Thoroughly appealing in every way. . . . The recipes called to me to turn on the oven and get out my apron. I baked the Chocolate Hazelnut Cake, and it was so moist and full of rich, dark chocolate flavor that I knew it would become a regular part of my dessert repertoire." -- Kathy Gunst - WBUR"Claire Ptak, the Chez Panisse alum who runs London’s Violet Cakes, divides this sumptuous book into two. ‘California’ is produce-forward, while Harry and Meghan’s wedding cake is the talk of ‘England.’" -- Laura Regensdorf - Vanity Fair"Joyful . . . an exquisite collection of recipes." -- Hope Coke - Tatler"Claire Ptak’s recipes are generous, intuitive, and beautiful. This is a celebration of life, and the bounty of the earth. You will feel as though an old friend is taking you by the hand and teaching you how to make the perfect fluffy blueberry muffin. Pull up a chair. Claire is the friend everybody needs in their life." -- Laila Gohar"This book is as rich in stories as it is in incredible recipes. There is magic in its pages. I know so many of these recipes will become favorites baked again and again—a Violet recipe always works perfectly. A special book that’s as beautiful as it is useful. I’ve rarely been more excited about a book." -- Anna Jones"An absolutely enchanting book." -- Nigella Lawson"Ptak asserts that "baking is, in its own way, a love story," and her own love shines through.

Book SynopsisOne of Food Networks Best Cookbooks of 2022 • One of Vice's Best Cookbooks of 2022 • One of BookPage's Best Cookbooks of 2022. A groovy master class in healthy, sustainable, naturally delicious breads from a star of the new bread renaissance.Trade Review"Greg Wade is an incredibly talented and passionate baker. From his own commitment to local grains to the mastery of sourdough, soakers, and porridges, he shares his knowledge about all the elements that make up his extraordinary bread. Greg’s curiosity and creativity shine through as he reminds us that baking is a lot of fun. He makes everything feel easy and accessible—this book is a gift to bakers at all levels and a must for the bakers of today!" -- Amy Scherber, Amy’s Bread, NYC"Take a trip inside the head of Greg Wade, a dedicated custodian to community, soil, and fermentation. This deeply informative work is precise, yet playful and curious… just as one would expect to arise out of Greg’s generous nature and extensive talent. As both a reference book and a recipe book, Bread Head will prove to be a tremendously valuable addition to any baker’s library." -- Zachary Golper, Bien Cuit, Brooklyn"Bread Head takes us for a groovy ride, navigating Greg’s baking philosophy in an easy-to-understand way. I love how this book offers a peek at Greg’s genius on baking, hydration, and the importance of the ingredients. I can’t wait to start baking and jamming at home." -- Sarah Grueneberg, Chef/Owner, Monteverde"Greg Wade's baking is the kind of far-out bread and pastry that comes from bucking trends and asking the kinds of introspective questions few dare to. It takes a rare personality to look at the same few ingredients day after day and delight in every subtle change nurtured by time, temperature, and a few microbes and yeasts. The only thing missing from this book is the thing only you can give it: the kind of working knowledge that comes with baking bread again and again. So, grab this book, get in the kitchen, and just keep truckin’ on! Ya dig?" -- Dana Salls Cree, founder, Pretty Cool Ice Cream"Having Greg Wade’s brilliant new cookbook Bread Head in your kitchen is like having a renowned baker standing next to you giving you a personal master class. Bread Head provides essential inside tips that only a great baker can offer. But Bread Head is not merely all about bread. This comprehensive book is packed with recipes of treats like buckwheat brownies, bacon rye cheese rolls and whole wheat sponge cake with honey buttercream frosting. If you are serious about baking, then Bread Head is a must." -- Nancy Silverton, Mozza Group

Book SynopsisCelebrate deliciously and beautifully! Master sugarcraft sculptor Alan Dunn shows how to create festive cakes decorated with cascading, lifelike floral arrangements built from sugarpaste. Make your cakes the centerpiece of any celebration with romantic flowers, lush foliage, brightly colored fruits, and fantasy butterflies. Alan s easy-to-follow directions, accompanied by stunning, mouthwatering photographs, cover 35 floral varieties and 18 charming cake designs for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, christenings, holidays, and more. If you're looking for the ultimate guide to sugarcrafting, this book won't fail to impress. "Trade ReviewAlan Dunn’s anticipated ninth book, Celebration Cakes, is an incredibly practical and comprehensive guide to the enticing world of sugarcraft. The book’s straightforward layout is paired with step-by-step flower tutorials that are oh so easy to follow. To compliment Dunn’s accessible floral creations, the book is filled with high quality photos that are as instructional as they are elegant. Dunn’s book stands apart because of the way he has consolidated a wide variety of diverse flower tutorials. We tried out the “Purple chili peppers” tutorial on page 58, and found the material and equipment lists (as well as Dunn’s instructions) to be clear and manageable. It seems that Dunn has truly thought of everything. For example, if you aren’t sure where to buy a specific product listed in the book, he has thoughtfully provided a list of suppliers in the back for easy reference. Yet another bonus is the inclusion of a photo gallery of flower bouquets. In these photos, Dunn has cleverly taken individual pieces from the flower tutorials in the book and placed them into larger arrangements for inspiration. We think Celebration Cakes is definitely worth celebrating, and if you love Dunn’s other books you will not be disappointed. * Cake Central Magazine *
