The Joys of Baking bursts with ripe fruits and berries, dark,
bittersweet chocolate, buttery tarts, whole grains, and creamy
custards - in short, all of my favorite things to bake... and eat!
Sprinkled with personal stories, Samantha Seneviratne's gorgeously
photographed cookbook will fill anyone's sweet spot.--David
Lebovitz, author of My Paris Kitchen and The Perfect Scoop
The Joys of Baking is a sweet meditation on why we bake, on how
what we make with our hands changes us, soothes, comforts and
inspires us. Sam's generously personal stories and the collection
of recipes she braids into them encourage us to bake, to pay
attention as we stir and knead, and to reap each of the many
pleasures she describes. The book is a delight.--DorieGreenspan,
award-winning author of Everyday Dorie and Dorie's Cookies
