Situated in the hip foodie enclave of Sydney’s Surry Hills is the original Bourke Street Bakery, a cozy nook selling artisanal baked goods of the highest order. The bakery’s long queue of customers waiting for their daily fix is testament to the popularity of their utterly delicious wares -- from rustic breads such as their famous spelt sourdough to the flaky pork and fennel sausage rolls (delicious and easy to make) to the most addictive sweet pastries like ginger brûlée and pistachio tarts. Bourke Street Bakery is the ultimate baking companion with clear and concise instructions aimed at the novice home baker, while remaining an inspirational and technical reference for professionals of the crust and crumb world. Passionate owners/bakers Paul Allam and David McGuinness share their secrets for more than ninety of their exceptional creations, including starters, croissants, brioches and other delights. This book’s beautiful and inviting photography captures the mouthwatering detail of the buttery, crumbly fare as well as the infectious vibe of the bakery itself.
