Overview:
Discover a two-volume hardcover collection that brings world-class home baking within easy reach. Crust unlocks Richard Bertinet’s hands-on, proven approach to bread, guiding you from the fundamentals of sourdough and ferments to a spectrum of speciality loaves built with a range of flours and flavours. Learn to craft Spelt Bread, experiment with bagels and soft pretzels, and master the croissant along with other tempting sweet breads like stollen and brioche. Each technique is illustrated with clear step-by-step photography and practical guidance designed to foster confidence and consistency in home ovens. Paired with Patisserie Maison, the set then shifts its focus to the elegant world of patisserie for the home baker. You’ll find step-by-step guidance and over 50 easy-to-follow recipes for biscuits, sponges, meringues, tarts, eclairs and other classic desserts. Together, these two volumes form a complete, beautifully bound kitchen library that invites you to bake boldly—bread today, pastries tomorrow.
What Makes This Collection Special:
This is more than two books—it’s a cohesive learning journey from crust to confection. Bertinet’s approachable, technique-forward teaching style runs through both titles, creating a seamless path for readers to grow their confidence. Crust builds a durable bread foundation—kneading, shaping, fermentation, scoring—before you’re invited to explore diverse flours and flavours. Patisserie Maison then translates those same precise methods to sweet pastry, demystifying temperamental techniques with hundreds of visual cues and reliable, repeatable results. The hardcover format elevates the experience, making this collection a display-worthy reference and an aspirational gift for food lovers who crave tangible kitchen skills they can use every day.
Books Included in This Collection:
Crust
Crust provides a practical, confidence-boosting pathway to bread-making. Bertinet begins with sourdough fundamentals and expands into breads that showcase a variety of flours and fermentation techniques. From the sturdy appeal of rustic loaves to the playful challenge of bagels, pretzels, and croissants, the book demystifies shaping, scoring, and baking temperatures with clear, accessible instructions and stepped photography. The result is crumb that’s moist, crust that sings, and a technique toolkit you’ll return to again and again. This hardcover edition sits proudly on kitchen shelves, ready to guide weekend bakers and seasoned enthusiasts alike.
