BAKER'S BOOK: FAVOURITE RECIPES AND KITCHEN WISDOM BY AUSTRALIAN BAKERS YOU LOVE

The Baker’s Book is a beautiful collection of sweet and savoury recipes, stories and tips from some of Australia’s best bakers. As Natalie Paull of Beatrix Bakes says, “We love to bake. We give you what our hands and ovens have wrought because we want you to feel good. We are telling you we love you.” Edited by Ruby Goss, this book brings together over 30 bakers — from pastry chefs and home bakers to community bakeries — to share the recipes that bring them joy. The result is a gorgeous book with more than 60 fully photographed recipes, from special occasion cakes and everyday treats to delicious savoury bakes and dreamy desserts. Alongside the recipes are stories and tips that capture the heart of baking and its lessons for life.

Featuring a bold cover by Melbourne artist Beci Orpin, this book is perfect for anyone who loves to bake, with delights like marshmallow brownies, lemon and thyme madeleines, cinnamon braids, plum streusel cake, spinach and smoked cheddar pie, and showstoppers like Miss Trixie’s chocolate cake, a strawberry and balsamic lamington stack, and a peaches and cream meringue tower. It’s a celebration of bakers, baking, and all the ways it can make life sweeter.
