Cakes and Loaves: 110 Recipes You Can Make at Home by Ilona Chovancova, Pierre Javelle (Photographer)

From the Publisher

Sweet, savory and surprising.

Cake is a classic food based on basic ingredients -- eggs, milk, flour and some butter or oil. Widely thought of as primarily sweet, cakes also make delicious appetizers and exciting entrées. All it takes are some fresh ingredients and a bit of imagination to transport cake from the dessert menu into the realm of savory fare.

Cakes and Loaves provides an astonishing variety of recipes. Divided into three categories -- sweet, salty and loaves -- this stylishly designed book will inspire cooks to bake cakes in fresh new ways with ingredients like chorizo, Gruyère and pistachios. A section on cake basics covers baking tips, equipment and storage.

Some of the reimagined cakes and loaves include:

• Red berries cake


• Apple, carrot and almond cake


• Olive, thyme and lemon cake


• Pecan nut cake


• Mushroom and parsley loaf


• Thai loaf


• Sesame and pineapple cake


• Zucchini and carrot loaf


• Feta and herbs loaf.

With this imaginative book filled with delightful and unexpected recipes, bakers will discover the versatility of the classic cake.
