Book reviews

Learn more about what other's have to say about "BAKE" by Graham Herterich.

“Herterich’s Bake is a truly Proustian text, for Graham Herterich roots his work in recalling inspirations gifted by his family and friends. Time and again, the template on which Herterich weaves his brilliant improvisations is the memory of a taste, a place, a person. Bake is an extremely personal work, yet it is also universal: memories make us, and memories bake us.”
“A new name has just burst into the Irish cookbook scene. He is a larger-than-life character known to many as the Cupcake Bloke from his bakery in Dublin’s Rialto. Graham specialises in classic Irish recipes, such as soda bread, tarts, porter cake, and barmbrack but gives them a modern twist. How about panch phoran soda bread, West Indies porter cake or barmbrack with many toppings and flavoured butters? In his new book, Bake every traditional Irish recipe is followed by a modern interpretation.”
“A beautiful hardback book, it offers something for every kind of baker, from first-timers looking for answers to all their baking questions to more accomplished bakers in search of inspiration and adventurous new flavours.”
“..a collection of sweet and savoury recipes, both traditional versions and others reinterpreted in a more modern way… a beautifully produced publication, with some really original design elements”
