Order my new cookbook Pan y Dulce: The Latin American Baking Book!
Bryan Ford highlights the baking traditions of Latin America, infusing classic breads, pastries, cakes, and cookies with new energy and sharing the cultures and stories behind each recipe.
Bryan Ford has changed the way the world sees baking. Breaking free from a Euro-centric approach to the craft, he celebrate the baking traditions of Latin America, starting with a simple approach to recipes and technique, and sharing the depth and nuance of the stories behind each loaf and pastry.
Taking a completely unique, yet long overdue approach, there is no book like Pan y Dulce on the market. From Pan de Mole to Medialunas, Palmeritas to Pan Frances, and Flan to Arepa Dulce de Maiz, these recipes highlight the beauty and breadth of Latin American baking—from simple cookies and cakes to artisan breads.
This is an essential baking book for every home baker looking to expand their understanding of the history of the craft and explore the sweets and treats, breads and bakes of this region, from Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.
