I learnt so much from this book. Jordan Bourke is a truly intelligent and inspiring cook. Irish chef Jordan champions 'real' bread and makes bakes healthier by using natural ingredients, ancient grains such as spelt and rye, and fermenting. His sweet bakes, including plum & raspberry buckwheat crumble, are free from refined sugar and packed with fruit, nuts and spices. There are lots of dinner ideas too, with tarts, pizzas and whole baked vegetables. - BBC GOOD FOOD MAGAZINE Approved by Diana Henry, this process-led recipe book goes back to beautiful baking basics, to serve up the sort of food you'll long to share and savour. - PSYCHOLOGIES Book of the month: Jordan Bourke's previous book, Our Korean Kitchen, created with his fabulous fashion designer wife Rejina Pyo, has won a slew of awards.
