Ovenly: Sweet and Salty Recipes from New York's Most Creative Bakery

This updated edition of a book originally published in 2014 offers sweet and savory recipes for contemporary treats.

If you’re a New Yorker, you’ve probably heard about the imaginative bakers at Ovenly, who have four bakeshops in the city. They’re known for toothsome goodies that aren’t afraid to riff on tradition to enhance texture and flavor.

Their ginger spice cookie gets enlivened with some whole grain mustard. Their lightly sweetened apple bread is topped with a salty breadcrumb topping to give it some of the same sweet-savory contrast as an apple pie. They frost some of their cakes with a mean pomegranate buttercream. And they turn out some decadent caramel bacon hand tarts.

All of these recipes are here, of course. And if you own the original edition and are wondering what’s new, how about 8 new bakeshop favorite recipes that have been chosen for their crowd-pleasing success.

Paperback. Color photographs throughout.
