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.
Finally, a cookie book that's sweet and sassy! Sweet Talk Cookies
has gloriously out-of-the-ordinary cookie designs. If you're sick
of the same-old cookies, if you can't possibly decorate another
bland tree or stocking, look no further. Hayley Callaway, founder
of Hayley Cakes and Cookies (@thehayleycakes), has just what you
need-whether that's a taco truck and message cookie that says "Feed
me and tell me I'm pretty" or a T-rex hanging Christmas lights.
When it comes to designs, this is a book filled with cookies that
have character, for year-round fun. Chapters span the seasons,
including both holiday-related motifs and designs that simply
celebrate something like summer fun (helllooo snow cones!). If
you're looking to really make these cookies your own, you'll love
the creative lettering workshop. Once you master the art of writing
with icing, you can customize to your heart's content! Inside,
you'll find all this and more: A complete cookie class: Outlining
all the key materials and techniques needed in the rest of the
book. Recipes: Hayley's signature cookie and icing recipes. Writing
workshop: The key to making the cookies your own! Holiday cookies:
Cookies to pop the bubbly and celebrate the New Year, fa-boo-lous
Halloween cookies, ideas for your Valentine, and even a couple
birthday party cookies. Animal cookies: A whole farm of
mini-animals as well as bears, a rainbow turtle, even unicorns!
Christmas cookies: Just try and pick your favorite from the what's
crackin' nutcracker, Rudolph the sprinkle-nose reindeer, and a
cookie that is decorated like a tray of Christmas cookies. Summer
cookies: Have some fun in the sun with mermaids, fancy seashells,
watermelon, tie-dye shirts, and more. And even more cool designs:
Cowboy boots, eggs and bacon, carved woodgrain, a watercolor
cactus...the sky's the limit! If you are the type of person who
demands cookies not only taste good, but be in good taste, this is
your cookie book soul mate!

A delicious and delightful narrative history of pie in America,
from the colonial era through the civil rights movement and
beyondFrom the pumpkin pie gracing the Thanksgiving table to the
apple pie at the Fourth of July picnic, nearly every American
shares a certain nostalgia for a simple circle of crust and
filling. But America's history with pie has not always been so
sweet. After all, it was a slice of cherry pie at the Woolworth's
lunch counter on a cool February afternoon that helped to spark the
Greensboro sit-ins and ignited a wave of anti-segregation protests
across the South during the civil rights movement. Molasses pie,
meanwhile, captures the legacies of racial trauma and oppression
passed down from America's history of slavery, and Jell-O pie
exemplifies the pressures and contradictions of gender roles in an
evolving modern society. We all know the warm comfort of the
so-called "All-American" apple pie . . . but just how did pie
become the symbol of a nation? In Sweet Land of Liberty: A History
of America in 11 Pies, food writer Rossi Anastopoulo cracks open
our relationship to pie with wit and good humor. For centuries, pie
has been a malleable icon, co-opted for new social and political
purposes. Here, Anastopoulo traces the pies woven into our history,
following the evolution of our country across centuries of
innovation and change. With corresponding recipes for each chapter
and sidebars of quirky facts throughout, Sweet Land of Liberty is
an entertaining, informative, and utterly charming food history for
bakers, dessert lovers, and history aficionados alike. Ultimately,
the story of pie is the story of America itself, and it's time to
dig in.
