The owner and chef of L.A.'s famous and successful La Brea Bakery reveals her magical recipes, adapted for home bakers. Before the baking even begins, Silverton takes the reader through the wonder of bread alchemy, then introduces readers to a wide range of recipes which range from the whimsical to the sublime. 25 photos.
Sweet, intense, and colorful is how Sicilian pastries will appear
to the fortunate eyes seeing them for the first time. Those who
have time to get to know them well, however, will also find it
sensual, dramatic, and irreverent. Making pastries in Sicily is
never a purely gastronomic issue; it may be a declaration of love,
social ostentation of personal wealth, or a way of mocking a
defeated enemy. It is a gesture that involves countless intentions,
coded and described in stories rooted in the mists of time. This
anthology collects some of those stories and the most delicious
Sicilian sweets, illustrated by poignant images and accompanied by
some personal tips. The scents of childhood and cherished memories
are bound together by one certainty: In Sicily, a sweet is never
something that is just good to eat. It is a magical microcosm, an
ancient tale, a legend that demands to be told.
