Pastry Love: A Baker's Journal of Favorite Recipes
<b>A must-have baking bible from the James Beard award–winning baker and owner of the beloved Flour bakeries in Boston.</b><br /><br /> James Beard award–winning baker Joanne Chang is best known around the country for her eight acclaimed Flour bakeries in Boston. Chang has published two books based on the offerings at Flour, such as her famous sticky buns, but <i>Pastry Love</i> is her most personal and comprehensive book yet. It includes 125 dessert recipes for many things she could never serve in the setting of a bakery—for example, items that are best served warm or with whipped cream on top. Nothing makes Chang happier than baking and sharing treats with others, and that passion comes through in every recipe, such as Strawberry Slab Pie, Mocha Chip Cookies, and Malted Chocolate Cake. The recipes start off easy such as Lemon Sugar Cookies and build up to showstoppers like Passion Fruit Crepe Cake. The book also includes master lessons and essential techniques for making pastry cream, lemon curd, puff pastry, and more, all of which make this book a must-have for beginners and expert home bakers alike.<br />  <p><b>*One of <i>Food & Wine’s</i> Essential New Cookbooks for Fall*</b></p><p><b>*One of <i>Food52’s</i> Best Cookbooks of Fall 2019*</b></p><p><b>*One of <i>Bon Appetit’s</i> Fall Books We’ve Been Waiting All Summer For*</b></p>
