Butter Baked Goods: Nostalgic Recipes From a Little Neighborhood Bakery

Description

Butter Baked Goods is a gorgeously illustrated cookbook, packed full of delicious recipes for irresistible baking that readers will want to make, time and time again. Every recipe in Butter Baked Goods has simple, step-by-step instructions, and is written in an accessible and easy-to-follow style, so that everyone can create Butter's delectable treats-from grandmothers who have been baking all their lives; to teenagers making their very first cupcakes. Rosie's baking is not about trickery, flamboyance or hard-to-find ingredients, but about great-tasting, homemade treats.

Rosie Daykin, owner of Butter Baked Goods, is a passionate home baker who had dreamed of opening a bakery since she was six years old. After a successful career as an interior designer, she transformed her favorite hobby into a phenomenal success story when she opened Butter Baked Goods in 2007. The bakery now operates in two locations in Vancouver B.C., and Butter's baked goodies can be found at over 300 retail locations across North America. Rosie lives in Vancouver with her husband, Paul; their daughter, India; two fat cats; and a small dog.

"What a marvelous cookbook! Rosie's exquisite gourmet marshmallows put her on the map (and fly off our shelves at Joan's on Third). Her wonderful Butter Baked Goods is an essential, accessible book of baking, filled with Rosie's delicious recipes for classic sweets-and beautiful photography that bring Butter home." -Joan McNamara, owner of Joan's on Third, Los Angeles "The Butter Baked Goods cookbook is as inviting as a bakeshop window.

These heartfelt, timeless recipes are sure to be enjoyed by generations to come, and with this book, readers can recreate the warmth of Butter Baked Goods in their own home." -DEAN & DELUCA "Long before I met Rosie Daykin, I met her baked goods. The tarts, the cupcakes, the cookies, the various delectable bars that were all so incredibly delicious it became soul-crushing to choose one over the other. As regulars, we came to know Rosie-the sweetie behind the sweets-and it wasn't long before we fell in love with her too. She's an amazingly talented woman, and a wonderful human being. Still, if I had to choose between her and one of her Dream Bars, it'd be a tough call. Maybe with this cookbook I can make my own" -Brent Butt, actor, comedian and creator of Corner Gas "The lost art of old-fashioned family baking is preserved and made simple, accessible and beautiful in Butter Baked Goods. This cookbook is a celebration of the memories shared through baking, with recipes that will have you running back to the cookie jar for more. Rosie has grown her business well beyond the bakery yet preserves the magic, keeping baking as it's meant to be-easy and totally delicious." -Trish Magwood, chef and author of In My Mother's Kitchen "Rosie's book is as yummy as stepping into her delicious bakery. Her inspiring recipes for scrumptious cakes, pies, and cookies will delight all of us who love to bake." -Sherry Yard, award-winning chef, author, and owner of Helms Bakery "Paging through this beautiful book, I am thrilled to see so many of the iconic sweets of my childhood. There are cookie bars with sticky coconut bottoms and chocolate tops as shiny as mirrors. Plush white sugar cookies like feather down. And homemade marshmallows thrown into every kind of butterscotch and chocolate situation imaginable. Pretty, unpretentious, and totally doable, these recipes require just two simple things to spring to life: a throbbing sweet tooth and a hot oven." -Amy Thielen, author of The New Midwestern Table "The Butter Baked Goods cookbook is a truly appealing collection of homey and nostalgic baked good that any passionate home baker would love!
