Why aren’t the recipes for this book available on ckbk?
We are building our collection of cookbooks all the time. This book is on our wish list, but it is not yet available on ckbk.
Books which are part of ckbk's collection show one of these two logos:
Food writer and recipe developer
When shopping for cookbooks I gravitate toward heavily worn and stained ones. When I purchased this book, the salesperson noticed that the cover was deeply scratched. She tried to swap it for a perfectly new one, and didn’t understand why I wanted the deeply scratched one. In my opinion, it had a jump start on the lovely patina and wear of a cookbook. When I read through this cookbook it makes me imagine the hustle and bustle of this bakery. I love how the writers introduce us to their butcher, baker, farmers and regular customers. I’ve enjoyed the orange almond cake, fresh ginger cake and their artichoke and tomato cake.
Writer, broadcaster and academic
The co-founder of Le Villandry, Rose Carrarini, took English baking to Paris and won. The fact that the French now adore 'le apple crum-bell' must surely be down to Rose. It's a charming book with a startlingly green cover that's a cross between a 1930s sideboard and a Granny Smith

Baking is my thing. I love the photography in this book and have visited both the London and Paris sites. Plus my wonderful friends, the Demes from Chegworth Valley, make an appearance which makes me very happy.

This is one of those beautiful and exquisite Phaidon books that always delight. Rose has some very simple, yet tasty recipes, including one very nice banana smoothie.
