Gorgeous, rich, decadent recipes for the home baker
Inspired by the author's Jewish heritage, these recipes have a very European sensibility, with a touch of Middle Eastern flavours.
They are sophisticated, featuring some nostalgic classics with a twist that are easy to make. Butter, Butter is divided into five sections: Cakes, Pastry, Dough, Cookie and Slices and Savoury.
The flavours are deep, spicy and a little exotic. With ingredients like semolina, hazelnuts and tahini and toppings like candied fennel, pistachios, sesame and thyme, there are many delicious things to explore.
