Buns: Sweet and Simple Bakes for Every Mood

This is a beautiful book that embraces the joy of baking.

There is something universally comforting about freshly baked buns. Soft and pillowy, with a gentle sweetness and enticing aroma, they are a treat enjoyed by cultures around the world and at the heart of this global love affair is the simple pleasure of taking basic ingredients and transforming them into something truly delicious.

Buns is a gorgeous collection of recipes, including classics passed down through generations, such as Cardamom Buns, Semlor and Tosca, to modern interpretations that celebrate flavour and form, such as Pistachio and Peach, Tahini and Chocolate, and Orange and Fennel. The recipes are a testament to the appeal of sweet indulgence and whether you are a seasoned baker or a curious beginner, this book will inspire you to create your own delicious bakes and perhaps even discover new favorites along the way.
