It’s been 13 years since the first Tartine cookbook was published, and some people might ask why we need to revisit it. But anyone paying attention to baking in those years knows that a lot has changed. The way we eat has changed. The way we bake has changed. The grains that are available to us has changed. So taking the time to revisit this cookbook after all that time and to update the recipes for a new generation of bakers and a new assortment of flours is actually an inspired idea.

The basics are still the same. Tartine became a legend because its dedication to the highest quality ingredients and their exacting standards. Their consistency in those two areas have brought them much love and success. And now authors Elizabeth Prueitt and Chad Robertson are sharing the things they’ve learned over the last decade.

This new edition combines 55 of their favorite recipes, updated, with 67 new recipes for home bakers who are willing to stretch themselves in their baking. These are not beginning recipes. Some of the ingredients they choose are not things that most people keep in their pantry. You may have to spend more for the rye flour or the buckwheat flour, for the matcha powder or the best chocolate. But using the best ingredients and mastering these techniques can make you a master baker.

With recipes for muffins, tarts, cakes, pies, eclairs, and brownies, Tartine may look at first glance as a cookbook for anyone. But dig a little deeper and find the recipes for the Matcha Creme Brulee Tart, Lemon Meringue Cake, Salted Chocolate Buckwheat Cookies, Black Tea Blondies with Caramel Swirl, and Steamed Gingerbread Pudding with Bourbon Hard Sauce. Clearly this is no average pastry cookbook. It is exceptional.

Filled with lots of notes and insights into baking, Tartine: A Classic Revisited is also packed with inspiration. The lush photography takes you behind the scenes at the bakery and shows off dozens of gorgeous, mouth-watering, delectable pastries. With gluten-free recipes, less sugar, and more grain options, these recipes are updated for today’s bakers, but with all the flavor, texture, and perfection of the originals. Just like all the other Tartine cookbooks, this will be an instant classic, a gorgeous gift, and a long-time collectible. Don’t miss this one for all your favorite home bakers!
