Founded in 1982, Zingerman's-a household name in Ann Arbor, MI-has
grown from a single delicatessen to a thriving community of
food-related businesses. One of these is Zingerman's Bakehouse, a
bakery specializing in artisanal breads and pastries. To coincide
with its 25th anniversary, Bakehouse co-owners Emberling and
Carollo have crafted a cookbook that intimately blends the
business's unique history and philosophy of service with
never-before-published recipes for its best-loved baked goods. All
home bakers will recognize its merit, made visible in precise
recipes (e.g., Detroit-style pizza, coconut cream pie, chestnut
baguettes, pecan sandies with bacon), stunning photographs, and
deeply reflective storytelling. Notably, the book includes a wealth
of traditional Hungarian and Jewish foods. VERDICT A stellar
all-purpose baking collection for every skill level.
