Nancy Silverton's Pastries from the LA Brea Bakery

"Although the book begins with banana-nut bread and works its way to sesame brittle, it's by no means a ho-hum collection. At least half of the recipes are for sweets that I've never seen before....This is a book to use when you're in a hurry for something sweet, and also for a cold, rainy day, when it would be heavenly to stay indoors and bake something that will challenge you a bit while making the house smell wonderful."Silverton, Nancy is the author of 'Nancy Silverton's Pastries from the LA Brea Bakery', published 2000 under ISBN 9780375501937 and ISBN 0375501932.
