The Violet Bakery is bustling cake shop and cafe in Hackney, east London. Famed for its exquisite baked goods and contemporary feel it has become a cult destination. Owner, Claire Ptak, brings a Californian sensibility to her recipes with wholegrain flours, unrefined sugars, the natural sweetness of seasonal fruits and nut oils. Claire began with a cupcake stall in Broadway Market but as word-of-mouth grew so did her modern-feeling baking repertoire. Claire has lovingly developed the best-tasting, most wholesome iterations of classics as well as new recipes with fresh, contemporary flavours. Her book, structured around times of the day, shares the flavour secrets of her delicious Violet bakes for home cooks. Think: Morning - Buckwheat granola or Cinammon buns; Midday - Squash, brown butter and sage quiche or Mozzarella, rosemary and new potato tarts; Teatime - Butterscotch bondie or Ginger molasses cake; Desserts - Cherry cobbler or Fig leaf ice cream; and, Party Party - Loganberry-vanilla birthday cake or Coconut cream trifle cake. With over 100 recipes, all up-to-the-minute and with taste paramount, this is the cookbook for modern bakers.
