This week: A few new baking books from NZ and the UK, author tour/class updates, recipes and more

Since August our entire team at EYB have been busier than normal. Speaking just for me, there are books to review, promotions to set up, monthly cookbook reviews to write up and more. Our staff is working hard to keep our cookbook corner of the world up-to-date for our members.

Today, I want to share with you a few books that bakers will want to add to their wishlists.

First up, Saffron Swirls & Cardamom Dust: Sweet Sensational Spice by Ashia Ismail-Singer was published in New Zealand yesterday. This title is an explosion of vibrant colors and flavors filled with stunning imagery and tempting bakes. Saffron Swirls is written by the author of My Indian Kitchen (2018 NZ) which will be published in the US in December under the title Ashia’s Table: Family Recipes from India and Beyond.

Just flipping through the pages fills me with inspiration – see the collage of photos above. The spices in these bakes are exciting and the resulting desserts are showstoppers. One can never have enough baking books!

Speaking of baking books, Peter Sawkins, winner of last year’s GBBO has just released his debut cookbook: Peter Bakes: 100+ Irresistible Recipes for Teatime Treats, Showstopper Cakes, Yummy Puddings and More. I just came across this book and have ordered it because I must own all things GBBO (and well all things baking to be truthful). I should be able to tell you more when our October new cookbook review is published. For those of you in the UK, Peter has a few events scheduled at Topping & Co. Also there is an event with Prue Leith at Blackwell’s on Oct 29th. My huge post which shares all titles GBBO related can be found here.
