Before we get into the roundup, I wanted to share a little with you about a book that will be published this month: Dolci!: American Baking with an Italian Accent by Renato Poliafito and Casey Elsass. Co-founder and former co-owner of Red Hook’s Baked and co-author of the Baked titles, Renato Poliafito is getting back in touch with his roots with Ciao, Gloria a coffee shop, neighborhood bakery and daytime café steeped in Renato’s Italian American upbringing.

In what Renato is calling his first solo album, Dolci!: American Baking with an Italian Accent is a spectacular collection of recipes wrapped in beautiful writing and stunning photographs. Beginning with a quick history of Italy and a “defense of the scale” (Renato highly recommends a scale while baking for accuracy, ease, division and consistency), the author eases into recipes organized as follows: Buongiorno!; Cookies, Bars & Biscotti, Pies; Tarts & Crostatas; Breads, Savories & Street Snacks; Specialties’, Cakes & Tortas; Spoons; and ends with Foundations. There are 128 recipes in this book from Monte Bianco; Almond torta with roasted plums; and Cannoli cake to Cacio e pepe arancini; Tagliolini suppli (think deep fried spaghetti with cheese) and a variety of cocktails and drinks. This book is brilliant. Be sure to check out Renato’s events which we have shared on our calendar.

Other upcoming baking titles that I am excited for include (there are loads more but I had to cut the list a little):
