Nancy Silverton bakes and serious bakers pay attention. If you've ever wondered if something more could be done with lemon bars, bread pudding, and linzer cookies, then this book could be just what you’re looking for. Inspired by a cookie from Mother Grains Nancy felt was "everything one could ask", Silverton set out to develop “the absolute best version of the familiar baked goods that we all know and love.” This is a rigorous baking book, informed by the precision of someone who has been baking professionally for more than thirty-five years. Silverton’s recipes are detailed and helpfully anticipate contingencies while adding delightful new approaches to familiar bakes. Her corn muffins include fresh grated ears of corn and cinnamon rolls are made from delicious Japanese milk bread dough. The carrot cake? A beautiful roasted carrot puree plus brown butter in the cream cheese frosting. Authors: Nancy Silverton with Carolyn CarreñoHardcoverColor photographs throughout512 pages
