New Finds: The Grand Central Baking Book

Published on Thursday, October 29, 2009, by Roxanne Webber / Edit Post

The new cookbook from the minichain of Grand Central bakeries scattered throughout Portland and Seattle is full of simple, classic recipes: clafouti; rustic fruit tarts organized by season; “hand pies” filled with spicy potatoes or steak and onion; homemade graham cracker sandwich cookies filled with vanilla cream … the list goes on. It’s not a book of fancy trendy things, just stuff that is timelessly appealing, presented in a way that feels accessible and nonintimidating. It would be a nice gift for someone just getting interested in baking.

The Grand Central Baking Book, $30

  • I have this book and have made the banana bread, pumpkin bread and raspberry tart. Everything was delish! One of my all-time favorites is the raspberry tart. I've changed the raspberries to strawberries. The crumb crust is amazing.
