Nancy Silverton's Pastries

When Nancy Silverton decided to add sweets to La Brea Bakery's repertoire of artisanal breads, she knew they couldn't be just any sweets. She bakes delicious, rustic pastries that perfectly complement her hearty, country-style bread and that have people lining up morning after morning. In this book, Nancy shares her passion and expertise in over 150 simple yet thorough recipes of her most scrumptious favorites. She demystifies doughnuts and guides us through delicious cobblers, scones, muffins, cookies and sinful chocolate confections. She offers a rich array of cakes for all tastes, tarts for all seasons, and savories for those wanting to give their sweet tooth a break. And she also leads us to mastery of the classic pastry doughs: the quick and rich babka, the fine-textured traditional brioche, the famous and flexible croissant, and the pièce de résistance: puff pastry. An important book from one of the most revered figures in the baking world, this book will most certainly prove to be another Silverton classic.

Sweets : A History of Candy

A journey into the heart of sweetness. Humans are all, secretly or openly, obsessed with sweet things-and we always have been. The Aztecs mixed chocolate with blood in sweet libations to their gods; Saladin entertained Richard the Lionheart with exotic sherbets and sugared jellies; Victorian sweets magnates built the towns of Bournville and Hersheyville from fortunes made through successful candies; and today the manufacture of sweets is shrouded in a level of secrecy that would make Willy Wonka proud. In Sweets, Tim Richardson takes us on a magical confectionery tour through time and space, letting his personal passion fuel the narrative of candy's rich and unusual history. Beginning with a description of the biology of sweetness itself, Richardson navigates the ancient history of sweets, the incredible range and diversity of candies around the world, the bizarre figures and practices of the confectionery industry, and the connection between sweets and sex. He goes on to explore the role of sweets in myth and folklore, and finally, a personal philosophical justification for continual sweet-eating based on the writings of Epicurus. A delicious blend of anecdote, history, and investigative reporting, Sweets is the perfect gift for everyone with a sweet tooth.
