Description

A Los Angeles Times and Bon Appetit Best Book of the Year

Discover brown-flour baking with the charismatic Rose Wilde—a grain geek hungry for texture, flavor, and diversity of ingredients.

In her extraordinary debut cookbook, Rose Wilde shares her joy of grain. From buckwheat, barley, and brown rice to spelt, sonora, and sweet corn, Bread and Roses is a comprehensive guide to choosing ingredients with an impact beyond the plate, resulting in delicious results.

Wilde’s recipes are inspired by her global travels and include more than 100 unique bakes. Readers will learn the origins and basic science behind more than fifteen ancient, heirloom, and alternative grains; how to enhance depth of flavor by tasting for tannins, body, acidity, strength, and hydration; and the proper way to source and preserve ingredients from local farmers and their own backyard. The possibilities for grain-based goodies are endless as Wilde encourages bakers of every level to develop their relationship with grains and grow confidence and creativity in an eco-friendly kitchen. Bread and Roses is the book everyone needs to make their bakes blossom.

Rose Wilde is behind some of the most impressive pastry and bread programs in the city, including those at at Mother Wolf and Rossoblu. With her new book, she’s created the only baking resource you might ever need, walking you through the fundamentals, including tools, terms and ingredients for a world of baking. It’s like having her in the kitchen with you, her notes guiding the way for sourcing, swaps to make if you have dietary restrictions, the shelf life of your bakes and even how to adjust a recipe for time constraints. Stacey Michelson’s dynamic illustrations make the various infographs and explainers even more user-friendly. The book is organized by region and the whole grains found there. In “Asia,” you’ll find recipes for buckwheat soba and brown rice scallion pancakes. In “Africa,” teff anise custard cake. And if you just want a really good chocolate chip cookie, you’ll find that too. It’s a real celebration of the transformative power of whole grains found around the world.
