Material type: TextPublisher: London : Kyle Books, 2014Copyright date: ©2013Description: 208 pages : colour illustrations ; 26 cmContent type: text | still image Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9781909487031; 1909487031Subject(s): Desserts | Cake | Seasonal cooking | Cooking (Natural foods)DDC classification: 641.86 Summary: In an ocean of baking books this book is something new. It is an aspirational, yet very achievable, collection of recipes to guide you through baking in a more nourishing way. Food stylist Amber Rose found a lot of the baking recipes out there tend to have the same flavor combinations used over and over again with refined white flour and white sugar as a staple. The heroes of her recipes are the seasonal fruits and ancient flours (spelt, rye, buckwheat and nut flours) used as an alternative to so much refined sugar and gluten, to bring more depth of flavor and texture and to create a healthier baked good. This is a book that covers all occasions, all seasons and all moods, bringing heritage ingredients into the modern kitchen. Using readily available fruit, honey, nuts and flowers to give a more natural kind of baked good, some of the recipes are sugar- and wheat-free and in some instances even dairy-free. Other recipes call for sugar and flour but it's always in a way that brings to life the ingredients being used. Enjoy baking a Spiced Carrot Cake with a crumbly topping; make Berry Good Fairy Cakes for the kids, create a Coconut & Passionfruit Tart for a dinner party, or try the healthy Zesty Oat Cookies with an orange zest pastry. Baking is always indulgent and comforting but, with Amber, it can be nourishing too.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
