Details: Product Description Melissa Forti is The Italian Baker. In her tea room in an idyllic medieval town near Tuscany, she bakes beautiful cakes that combine Italian traditions with her own modern twists. This book is a collection of tarts, cakes, loaves, biscuits, and coffee-time treats born out of Melissa's signature style of baking. Every recipe is a treat, taking in popular Italian ingredients like olive oil, mascarpone, almonds, and fresh fruit. Melissa gives perennial favorites like carrot cake, brownies, chocolate cake, and cheesecake a fresh, Italian makeover. Every cake and cookie tells a story, reflecting Melissa's travels, her passion for good food, and the love of her Italian heritage. Review "Forti has a warm and enthusiastic voice, urging her readers to eat a slice of cake every day and happily pronouncing any recipe with a fruit or vegetable component a nutritious breakfast. While I disagree with Forti's Cake Diet approach to life, there's no denying how adorable she is or how unbelievably good these recipes are. . . The Italian Baker has both simple recipes and fancy recipes for those occasions that call for a lovely treat that is a bit more inspired. I can see myself turning to The Italian Baker any time I want to make something really special for my family and friends." - Powells.com 'On the Table' blog About the Author Born in Rome and having lived in Los Angeles and London, Melissa Forti taught herself how to bake and started to collect baking books old and new, to learn about the art of baking through the ages, and throughout the world. After settling in the magical town of Sarzana, situated between Cinque Terre and Tuscany, she opened a boutique bakery and tearoom where both locals and visitors enjoy her incredible, freshly baked cakes every day.
