This week: Bake from Scratch on demand classes; James Beard broadcast; EYBD Previews; recipes and more

We are entering the busiest time of the year with all the fall/autumn cookbooks on the roster to be indexed and reviewed – see links to Previews below; I have already started working on the 2023 preview listing of cookbooks; we are adding new magazines to our Library for our members – Waitrose Weekend and just starting The Pioneer Woman Magazine and so many more irons in the fire.

I am also entering a busy time as Secretary and member of the James Beard Book Awards Committee. I am looking forward to attending our December meeting in New York. As you may recall, I was unable to attend the awards in Chicago this year and for those of you who did not watch the live stream – you can experience the celebrations if you are in the USA by tuning into the CBS broadcast of the 2022 James Beard Awards, presented by Capital One, on Saturday August 13, 2:30 pm EST. 

Bake from Scratch is now offering on demand classes in their store. They also have some great bundle deals on their yearly compilation volumes as well as their speciality titles such as The Cake Collection: 192 Recipes for the Cake Enthusiast which was just released last week. I am also coveting the stunning copper pieces available.

Kristin Hoffman, the author of Baker Bettie’s Better Baking Book, is opening an event location in Chicago called Bettie’s Chicago. This Sunday August 14th, Kristin is offering a virtual class on pies and pastries – the cost for this first class is whatever you can pay. Once the facility is fully functioning, we will add Bettie’s Chicago to our calendar.

Lastly, speaking of baking, be sure to preorder now Gâteau: The Surprising Simplicity of French Cakes by Aleksandra Crapanzano – pub date September 27th. It is a work of art with lovely illustrations and filled with recipes for many French cakes. A few recipes include Salted-caramel baulois; Chocolate marquise; Bittersweet chocolate espresso cake and Pierre Herme’s Instagram Sensation Explained. The author provides pages of detailed information with regard to soaking syrups; fillings; marmalades; ganache; spice mixes and more. It is such a beautiful book.
