    It is celebratory sweet holiday breads dense with fat raisins, toasted nuts and candied fruit peels. It is "new wave" wave" breads, recently invented by artisan bakers and studded with roasted peppers, sun. dried tomatoes and salty olive paste. It is imaginative multi-grain breads and rolls with tastes and shapes that vary dramatically from region to region.Recipes for the breads of all these regions, for the comforting rustic soups and salads and appetizers based on them, for breadsticks and rolls, pizza and focaccia, for holiday specialties, for pastries, cookies, cornetti and nut tortes, fruit tarts, cheesecakes and spice cakes and other confections-all are offered in this landmark volume which presents, for the first time in English or Italian, the diverse baking traditions of Italy.Knowing these regional specialties and the stories behind them is like taking a trip through the Italian countryside. Putting the recipes on paper as Carol Field has done is like preserving the villages in the Italian hillsides with their churches and frescoes, for they are part of a tradition that has never before been recorded. In preparing for this book, Carol Field spent two years working with the bakers of Italy, traversing the country again and again from Lugano and Como in the north to Lecce and Palermo in the south, tasting and testing, then going back to the States to rework the recipes in an American kitchen with American ingredients. The result is recipes that are impeccably written for utmost ease and flexibility. Some are simple and earthy, some elegant and refined, but all will be a revelation to Americans who have previously known Italian breads and desserts only from the limited and stereotyped range available until now. Each recipe offers instructions for making doughs by hand, by electric mixer, and by food processor. Illustrations provide clear step-by-step how-to, and chapters on ingredients, equipment and technique reveal all the whys and wherefores.

Baked Chicago's Simply Decadent Brownies Cookbook


Harvey Morris - 2012
    ™ Though I'm not a professional baker, I am absolutely a passionate one. That passion has led to some extraordinary recipes, a few deliciously simple techniques, and a lifetime of baking experiences that are as satisfying as the finished products. I'm excited to share some of them with you in my first cookbook! Aside from my first high school job cooking in a restaurant, I bake in my home kitchen for the benefit of family (including my four pugs) and friends. And since 2007, I've enjoyed sharing recipes through my blog, Baked Chicago. What got me started on this baking path? It may be destiny: my mother's maiden name is Baker. And like a lot of kids, I remember helping mom in the kitchen. One of my earliest baking memories is brownies from scratch, using the cooking bible of its day - the Better Homes & Garden Cookbook with the iconic red-and-white plaid binding. I quickly learned to experiment by throwing in my own variations like chocolate and butterscotch chips, toffee, and peanut M&Ms - all in the same dish. These early baked "masterpieces" got a warm reception at school parties. Fellow high school students dubbed my rich and unusually dense brownies "ton cake." Over the course of high school, I made a ton of "ton cake." I still love tinkering with recipes and the challenge of breaking them down to the simplest terms, changing up ingredients and textures to create unique, truly flavorful treats. Here are a few truths I've discovered along the way that make my baking simple and successful:Focus on fewer, high-quality ingredients in your recipes.Baking from scratch is almost always easier (and cheaper) than from a box.A recipe should be easy to follow and execute. [There's nothing I hate more than a kitchen sink full of dirty pots, pans and utensils.]Brownies are among the most decadent of baked deliciousness, yet deceptively easy to make and a great canvas for culinary expression. In this cookbook, you'll find 33 of my best brownie and brownie-inspired recipes. All are easy to follow with instructions fitting on a single page. I hope they inspire you to express your simply decadent baking creativity. Baking success in the kitchen doesn't have to be hard work. Simply, bake like you mean it. ~ Harvey Morris
