A must-have baking bible from the James Beard award–winning baker and owner of the beloved Flour bakeries in Boston.

James Beard award–winning baker Joanne Chang is best known around the country for her eight acclaimed Flour bakeries in Boston. Chang has published two books based on the offerings at Flour, such as her famous sticky buns, but Pastry Love is her most personal and comprehensive book yet. It includes 125 dessert recipes for many things she could never serve in the setting of a bakery—for example, items that are best served warm or with whipped cream on top. Nothing makes Chang happier than baking and sharing treats with others, and that passion comes through in every recipe, such as Strawberry Slab Pie, Mocha Chip Cookies, and Malted Chocolate Cake. The recipes start off easy such as Lemon Sugar Cookies and build up to showstoppers like Passion Fruit Crepe Cake. The book also includes master lessons and essential techniques for making pastry cream, lemon curd, puff pastry, and more, all of which make this book a must-have for beginners and expert home bakers alike.

Product description

Review

"Joanne does more than just share her recipes. She also shares her love for what she does, and that's what all great bakers and chefs do--they teach you to cook for the soul, not just the palate. First you find love for baking, then you bake."
-Dominique Ansel, Chef/Owner, Dominique Ansel Bakery and Kitchen

"This may be my fave book of Joanne's YET!!! If there is anyone who understands the magic power of a warm muffin or a flaky, buttery croissant to brighten someone's day, it's my girl Joanne Chang. Pastry Love is everything you want in a baking guide. With it open on my kitchen counter, oven heating, mixing bowl ready to get into the mix, I feel exactly as I do when I walk into a Flour Bakery in Boston--welcomed, loved, and right at home."
-Christina Tosi, Chef/Owner, Milk Bar

"From kicking off the day with Nutty Seedy Breakfast Cookies, to Peppermint Kisses as an after-dinner treat (with a stellar assortment of cakes, cookies, pies, and candies in between), Pastry Love is Joanne Chang's best collection of recipes yet! She is a rare combination of enthusiasm, talent, and passion--anything Joanne bakes, I want to eat."
-David Lebovitz, Author of My Paris Kitchen and The Perfect Scoop

"This stunning book offers a superb window into the immense skill set of America's premiere baking goddess. I am obsessed with everything Joanne bakes, and Flour is a bakery I visit on every trip to Boston. I could go on and on about the technical perfection, the absurd quality of the baked goodies and their recipes, and the ease of use for the casual baker... all pillars of Pastry Love. Joanne really only has one goal in life, and that's making people happy. She is the person we all want to be in the kitchen with, fingertips still slick with butter, the smell of caramel in the air, an icy glass of milk at the ready... and those insane chocolate chip cookies emerging from the warm, reassuring oven that's keeping us company."
-Andrew Zimmern, Chef, Author, Television Personality

"Rejoice! At last we have another Joanne Chang book to bake through. From breakfast sweets, breads, and pies to show-off cakes and snacks as irresistible as sticky-bun popcorn, Pastry Love is chockablock with recipes we all want to make, and each is written so clearly that even first-timers can succeed. This book won't last ten minutes before it'll be smudged with butter--a true sign of a baker's love."
-Dorie Greenspan, author of Everyday Dorie and Dorie's Cookies

Pastry SHOULD be INDULGENT!

Reviewed in the United States on 10 November 2019

Verified Purchase

Initially, I thought I had received a used book because the binding was loose, but after reading some of the other comments, that seems to be a delivered defect.
I preordered this book in September because of my experience with Joanne's previous baking books and cookbooks. All of her other books reflect her genuine joy in creating incredible food for people to make. This book does as well, but I think the description of this book should include SOMETHING to indicate it is half vegan, gluten free, and whole grain. If I am going to indulge in a baked treat, I want none of that. I would seek those out in a resource that is NOT called Pastry Love. I have very little time to bake, so when I do, I want true decadence and am not interested in a healthy version of the item. That probably is not going to go over well, but I don't care.
I will never buy a can of aquafaba, canned chickpea juice, in order to make something vegan. I will never buy spelt flour. I appreciate that many people will, but why not write a baking book specifically for vegan, gluten free, and whole grain instead of putting them in a book called Pastry Love?
That being divulged, there are many recipes that I will make and be very happy to spend the time doing so because I know they will be worth the effort based on past experience with Joanne Chang's recipes.
There are several recipes that use passion fruit, which is one of my favorite flavors. There are recipes for butter based pastry like puff pastry and pie crust. There is a recipe for Cream cheese buttercream, which is a Swiss buttercream base. That, I am very happy to try. There are several recipes for confections, that are Always welcome.
Another review noted the font and I will as well. It is readable, but could be more friendly. Overall, I love the design of the other fonts used in other places other than the recipes themselves. It's a very pretty and substantial book.
The description or introduction of each recipe is personal and lovely. The organization is logical and the introduction pages for equipment and ingredients is very good.
I just want substitute recipes for all of the vegan, gluten free, and whole grain recipes that I feel were "stolen" from me for taking up pages in a pastry book.

Beautiful, Bountiful, Technical, and Personal

Reviewed in Canada on 22 November 2019

Verified Purchase

Joanne's book is absolutely beautiful and was clearly made with love. As a home baker looking to master foundational pastry techniques and then getting all sorts of creative with them, this books serves as the kind of textbook I ACTUALLY want to read (like... I literally read this as my bedtime book...)

Each recipe includes a gorgeous full page photo, ingredient measurements in both grams and volume, and the instructions are very clear. The kinds of recipes are super diverse- from familiar items like breads, cakes, pies and cookies, to more challenging items like profiteroles, pavlovas, and kouigns amann. I also appreciate the inclusion of a couple dietary-accommodating recipes- considering the book is over 450 pages, I don't mind having a few recipes that I can make for my gf/vegan friends.

A sweet or funny anecdote is included for each recipe in which Joanne talks about the inspiration behind a recipe or graciously credits her bakers that helped develop them. I've seen many of the treats in this book also in photos of the Flour bakeshop's display case- so I'm confident that each recipe has undergone the rigorous testing before ending up in these pages.

My only pang of sadness is that unfortunately the book was delivered with a slightly torn binding. That being said, this book will be covered in sticky notes and kitchen crumbs in no time, so I'll get over it.

Disappointed with book quality

Reviewed in Canada on 8 November 2019

Verified Purchase

Horrible quality! Have to return two times and now I do not have a gift for my friend. Waited months as a preorder and very dissatisfied. The cover is separated from the rest of the book and it’s like it’s slipping out. The front page is showing it will be ripping off very soon. Will not be buying again until the printer/publisher fixes this issue with quality. I can’t even comment on the recipes as I had to return both books :(

Great cookbook

Reviewed in Canada on 10 July 2020

Verified Purchase

Nothing to dislike. Recipes work. Some are more challenging than others. Read the front of the book with advice on ingredients, equipment and hints first of all and go for it.My daughter made more of the recipes than me. Some are vegan and/or gluten free. All of Joanne Changs recipe books are great. The bakeries are worth visiting too.

Lots of recipes and pictures for things I would enjoy making and eating.
