Baked Elements: The Importance of Being Baked in 10 Favorite Ingredients
By Matt Lewis, Renato Poliafito, Tina Rupp
Stewart, Tabori and Chang - 2012
Another wonderful cookbook from the owners of Baked bakery in Brooklyn, this time focusing on the authors’ favourite ingredients. Of the three books, this one appeals to me most, partly because of the organization of recipes according to main ingredient as my baking choices are often determined by that (a bunch of spotty bananas, the jar of peanut butter that no one is eating…) and partly because these 10 ingredients are some my family’s favourite flavours as well.
I’ve made at least one recipe from most of the chapters (booze and chocolate still to come) and the results have been anywhere from good to spectacular. I’d like to give the book a 4 1/2 star rating but that’s not available so it gets 4.
