Next time I am in London i am definitely visiting Violet Bakery! All the recipes described just sounds very mouth-watering and after scrolling through the book pages one feels like he should bake any of the recipes! Also I love that the baking is unconventional, creative and using the cosmopolitan combinations (with a bit of preference towards the French "cuisine"). Also some of the recipes are gluten free and using different types of flour, which is welcome when one is on a healthy lifestyle train but still in for a treat.
I will try for sure Bacon and egg buttermilk biscuits.
As for practicality, all the measurements are both in European and American way (grams vs. cups), so the book can reach wider audience. Authoress preaches the high quality ingredients and I agree.
Authoress usually includes some tips or little stories into every recipe, which is a nice touch. I like to understand things, so some explanations helped me in knowing why "things" are behaving in certain way.
Another kudos for photos, this is almost an art.
On the minus side, I think this is a book for quite experienced baker. The authoress is really trying to be helpful when explain, but this is for sure book for foodies. I would also love to have more preparation pictures - there are some accompanying some recipes, but i would welcome then with every recipes. I have said this is for foodies, haven´t I? :)
All in all, the book is lovely. And as I said, I will visit Violet when in London - I might be not a foodie, but lover of a nice treat I am!
