Better Baking
Better Baking: Wholesome Ingredients, Delicious Desserts | Genevieve Ko
Updating classic baked goods with flavorful whole grains, nuts, flours, fruits, vegetables, and fats. After more than a dozen years developing recipes for food and health magazines and collaborating with noted pastry chefs, Genevieve Ko was determined to create treats that were just as indulgent as their original counterparts, as well as more full flavored and nourishing. In a word, better. Healthful oils prove superior to butter, giving Mocha Chip Cookies crisp shells and molten insides, liberating the citrus in Lemon Layer Cake with Olive Oil Curd, and tenderizing Melting Walnut Snowballs. Refined white sugar pales beside concentrated sweeteners like pure maple syrup, brown sugar, and molasses in muffins and granola. Pomegranate Pistachio Baklava uses reduced pomegranate syrup instead of the usual saccharine one. Nubby flours with personalitywhole wheat, spelt, rye, buckwheat, graham flour, and almond flourbring richness to such desserts as Glazed Apple Cider Doughnuts. And pureed fruits and vegetables (beets in Red Velvet Roulade with Strawberry Cream Cheese; grated zucchini in Chocolate School Party Sheet Cake) keep desserts extra moist.

Don't be afraid of using spelt flour in Genevieve Ko's pumpkin whoopie pies recipe. The texture and taste are fluffy, wholesome and soooo worth it. #BetterBaking

It's time! Litsy has started its food and book pairing contest. Five winners will win prizes from @HMHCooks —and BETTER BAKING is one of my favorites! Having a lot of food allergies, it's hard for me to find cookbooks I can actually use. But BETTER BAKING has holistic recipes with allergen-friendly ingredients. You could win a copy of this book by winning the cocktail hour category! Go find the perfect book and cocktail/appetizer pairing. 🧀🍷📚
