Flapper Pie And A Blue Prairie Sky

Description

An approachable book for all skill levels, Flapper Pie And A Blue Prairie Sky covers everything you need to know about being a modern-day old-fashioned baker: how to set up your kitchen and stock your pantry, and tips for handling tricky techniques like making pie dough and releasing a cake from the pan. The recipes cover everything from cakes to candies, doughnuts to dainties and pies to puddings, with the same gorgeous photography that has made The Kitchen Magpie a go-to blog for passionate home bakers.

Full-time professional blogger, baker, and recipe maker KARLYNN JOHNSTON can usually be found fluffing her culinary feathers on her award-winning website, The Kitchen Magpie. When she's not there, she's busy avoiding her deadlines by sneaking away to eat at her favorite Edmonton restaurants, finding a new bourbon cocktail to drink, or playing on social media. Flapper Pie and a Blue Prairie Sky is her first cookbook.

"Flapper Pie and a Blue Prairie Sky is beautiful in a completely organic way, a tribute to the years [Johnston] spent honing the craft of baking and photography, and to her quirky eye for gleaming kitsch. It's a collection as honest and sincere as the author." --The National Post "Recipes are creative and playful, but also very approachable, leaving it a great choice for the beginner and expert alike. I really enjoyed the advice shared about hot to stock the pantry and set up your kitchen, things that chefs often assume the home reader just know how to do." --Chef Paul Shufelt, The Toronto Sun "This Edmonton food blogger, baker and recipe maker has created another must-have for your cookbook collection. It's full of all the wonderful dessert recipes revamped for today that our mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers made. It brings back those beautiful memories of sweet-smelling kitchens and family celebrations around the table." --Edmonton Journal
