Sugar, I Love You: A Pastry Chef's Ode to Sugar in All Its Glory - Hardcover

by Ravneet Gill (Author)

Ravneet Gill grew up LOVING sugar. For as long as she can remember its' been her friend and constant companion - from dairy milk fruit & nut bars, to kitkats, cornettos, treacle sponges, profiteroles and more (she really could go on). It's little wonder that she grew up to become a pastry chef working in some of London's most respected food institutions such as St. John and Llewellyn's.

Having laid down the basics and demystified the technicalities of baking in her first book, The Pastry Chef's Guide, Rav is back to serve up some more gems to help you build up your baking armory. We're talking MORE cheesecakes (with influences from around the world), ultimate multi-layered, multi-textured cakes, sweet doughs to plait, fold and ice from babkas to iced buns. Make the fryer your friend with sweet bombolini, fritters and churros, from home. Get FANCY with plated desserts to impress your friends, including three-layered a la carte chocolate mille feuille and mango souffles.

With more photographs and detailed recipes from beginning to end, Sugar, I love you takes homemade patisserie to the next level with Rav's signature style and easy-to-follow approach. Interspersed with anecdotes and essays on 'How not to be a sugar snob' and 'What to do when your dinner guest doesn't eat sugar?', this book is bursting with colour, flavour and personality.

Are you ready to take it to the next level? Rav thinks so...
