Baking with Fortitude

Over a lifetime of baking, Dee Rettali of Fortitude Bakehouse in London has honed her recipes to bring out intense flavour using forgotten craftsmanship. The 90 recipes in this book are all about beautiful, natural flavours from quality ingredients like fruits and spices, a world away from bland, generic, sugary sweetness. Dee uses a sourdough-like starter in her baking, and ferments the batter itself before baking. These approaches bring a unique depth of flavour to her recipes, as do other slow-paced artisanal methods like steeping fruit and making herb infusions.
