Books by Alice Medrich

A prominent chocolatier shares the secrets behind her decadent, European-style desserts in this elegant hardcover volume. With this beautifully illustrated, easy-to-follow guide, even first-time bakers can create treats — almost — too beautiful to eat.

Baking with flavour flours--oat flour, sorghum flour, teff, coconut flour, and nut flours, like almond and hazelnut--adds a new dimension to dessert recipes. Rather than simply adding starch and structure to a dessert (as is the case with wheat flour), these flours elevate the taste of the dessert as well.
