Claire is my favourite baker
. I know so many of these recipes will become favourites baked again and again.
A Violet recipe always works perfectly.
Anna Jones, author of 'One: Pot, Pan, Planet'

more than just a conclusion to a great meal

they're bites of special memories

I want to
read, cook and devour
the gorgeous food of brilliant Claire
Ruth Rogers, author of the 'River Cafe Cookbook'
There is a collection of sweet recipes for spring from Claire Ptak's
delightful
new book
Love is Pink Cake
, including a brown sugar sponge cake, vegan chocolate chip cookies, and treacle tart. Claire has also given us a
very delicious
recipe for a dessert of muscat wine and raspberries,
which I have already bookmarked for my own Easter lunch
.
Nigel Slater, Observer Food Monthly
Claire's recipes are
generous, intuitive, and beautiful
. This is
a celebration of life, and the bounty of the earth
. You will feel
as though an old friend
is
taking you by the hand and
teaching you how to make the perfect fluffy blueberry muffin
. Pull up a chair. Claire is the friend everybody needs in their life.
Laila Gohar
Claire Ptak is the coolest girl I know.
She makes baking sexy
... in a wolrd of saccharine this is the antidote
Fiona Leahy
In her new cookbook
Love is a Pink Cake
, Claire Ptak
elevates baking to an art form
... Beyond the recipes proper, though,
it's the transferable wisdom that makes
Love Is A Pink Cake
invaluable
. You will learn how to grow geraniums on your windowsill and bake with their leaves; discover that soaking poppy seeds in black tea brings out their flavour; and come to realise that it's worth deseeding Fragola grapes for their deep purple colour and incredible sweetness. And you will find that
even the classics
- yellow sheet cake with chocolate frosting, treacle tart with whipped cream -
can be improved upon by following Ptak's advice
.
Hailey Maitland, British Vogue
Claire Ptak's
brilliant
new cookbook mixes the best of her acclaimed British bakery with her roots in Northern California ...
Her command of flavours and textures and the outright beauty of her creations has made her one of London's best-loved bakers
, sought after by Hackney residents and royalty alike.
Killian Fox, Observer Food Monthly
A treasure trove of baking
Appetite Magazine
BOOK OF THE MONTH
... Owner of East London's Violet Bakery, ex-Chez Panisse pastry chef and baker of cakes for royals,
Claire Ptak has credentials that are as impressive as this beautiful book
. It's divided to reflect the two sides of her life, with recipes such as black tea poppy seed muffins from her California birthplace, and apricot, chamocile and honey scones from her English home. The book is full of recipes that celebrate the seasons, and Claire introduces you to her favourite growers. There are
plenty of tips to build confidence and improve technique
too.
