Book description
In this "genius" (Claire Saffitz) cookbook, the "legendary pastry chef" (Eater) invites you into her home kitchen with 140+ sweet and savory recipes she perfected for friends and family. "A home baker's fantasia . . . [Fans] have been waiting twenty-one years for a follow-up to her equally legendary first book, The Last Course. The wait was worth it."--Eater ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times, Saveur, Los Angeles Times In Claudia's first cookbook, a culinary classic, she shared recipes from the menus at Gramercy Tavern that introduced home cooks to her sophisticated, classically inspired seasonal desserts and pastries and established a standard in pastry kitchens across the country. Now Claudia is offering a new collection of recipes all developed and tweaked in her own small kitchen. Baking at home, Claudia brings her characteristic style and skilled approach to every sweet and treat, along with an ease with culinary history, and a growing connection to her own family traditions. A mix of classic favorites and new explorations, including her first foray into savory recipes for savory baking, each delicious dish is the work of a master in her prime. Claudia's knowledge and facility, refined over a storied career in pastry, mark these more casual, desserts and savory bites. Her thoughtful essays on subject ranging from working with yeast to a professional's approach to frosting a layer cake, reflect her intention to share all she knows. With more than 140 recipes, the book is organized into chapters including: - Breakfast & Breads Blueberry Muffins; Rhubarb Scones - Doughnuts & Cakes Cider Doughnuts; Devil's Food with Earl Grey Cream- Cookies Grapefruit Rugelach; Pizzelles; Maple Shortbread- Pies Nectarine and Fig Tart; Plum Cobbler; Kumquat Tatin- Savories Eggplant Caponata Tart; Chickpea Crackers; Tomato Crostata Making simple preparations truly delicious is a challenge Claudia Fleming has always embraced. With Delectable, she continues to set the standard for pastry chefs and home bakers alike.

ListenBook's support for various audio formats means I never have to worry about compatibility issues. ๐ Grooving to the rhythm of stories while tackling household chores โ a dance of productivity! ๐ถ๐ Fairly enjoyable, but forgettable. I didnโt have any major complaints, but I also donโt see myself revisiting this one. It was a decent way to spend a few hours, though. Perfect for both first-time listeners and audiobook veterans! The narrator's warm, inviting tone made this an incredibly comfortable listening experience. I particularly appreciated how well they handled dialogue - each character felt distinct without being cartoonish. The pacing kept me engaged throughout. I've found my new favorite narrator! Their voice was perfectly suited to this material, with just the right blend of authority and approachability. The production quality was broadcast-level - no distracting breaths, clicks, or inconsistent volume. Already looking for more of their work.
