Sweet Envy is an old-fashioned sweet parlour, cake shop and
bakehouse rolled into one destination of deliciousness in Hobart,
Tasmania, and run by acclaimed pastry-chef Alistair Wise and his
wife and business partner Teena. The recipes in this book are a
snapshot -- a slice in time -- of the expert artisan produce of
Sweet Envy: from pork & harissa sausage rolls and sticky pecan
buns, to the perfect croissant, or a seriously haute-couture cake
with lashings of buttery icing. Within these pages are over one
hundred fabulous recipes for pastries, both savoury and sweet,
desserts, tarts, old-fashioned sweets, biscuits, cupcakes, gorgeous
celebration cakes and ice cream to drool over (you'll want to lick
the page, seriously). The authors have worked in some of the most
prestigious pastry kitchens and restaurants in the world, so these
recipes are packed with the ancient wisdoms of professional
pastry-chef experience. As well as this, their hilarious anecdotes
and wry observations of community life among Hobart's farmers,
foodies and friends, provide a refreshing and somewhat anarchic
sense of humour not usually associated with the sweet art of
baking.

Best Hot Fudge Sauce. The very best of those, the most
fan-favorited, requested, irresistibly chocolatey delights, are
reproduced in this definitive collection of the greatest chocolate
desserts from the woman the New York Times dubbed a baking
'genius.'Each recipe will be accompanied by a gorgeous, full-color
illustration and a heaping spoonful of Maida's no-nonsense, deeply
lovable, surprisingly witty instruction--along with her promise
that if you follow each recipe to the T, it will simply work.With

elaborate confections (like Maida's September 7th Cake, her
perennial birthday cake), this is a must-have book for chocolate
