Reviews & endorsements:
'Just as the art of baking seemed destined
to become a long lost, old-fashioned skill belonging to our
grandparents' era, The New Zealand Baker arrived
on the scene. Old tea trolley favourites and inspirational
bread recipes served up with photos I want to eat! A fantastic
book.'
Peter Gordon, expatriate Kiwi and partner in the Providores Restaurant
and Tapas Bar in London, author of The Sugar Club Cookbook and Cook
with Peter Gordon at Home.
'Dean's inspiring book 'The New Zealand Baker' is now prescribed
literature for baking apprentices in New Zealand. The book covers all major
baking techniques and includes recipes and secrets from the popular cafés
and bakeries in New Zealand.'
Tamara Rubanowski, editor Essentially Food magazine.
'The New Zealand Baker is two invaluable baking books in one:
a comprehensive section on breads, cakes and pastries guides you to making
the leading New Zealand baker's unique and scrumptious recipes look and
taste their best.'
Flo Braker, author of The Simple Art of Perfect baking and Sweet
Miniatures.
'A new exciting baking bookfrom New Zealand baker Dean Brettschneider is
a source of inspiration for bakers, who will also find it is fun to read,
with outstanding photographs.'
Sylvia Macdonald, editor British Baker magazine
in England.
'Brettschneider has built a career on breads, cakes and pastries, a fast
moving career he's constantly extending. Even his car sports the registration
number plate 'NZBAKR'.
Val Aldridge, food editor Dominion newspaper,
Wellington NZ
'Dean Brettschneider's low profile belies his status as one of the world's
best bakers.'
Simon Roche, Howick & Pakuranga Times
'Reading through pages and pages of technical stuff can be hard yakka but
Dean Brettschneider, the baking technical whiz pitches it right - clear,
concise text with no waffle.'
Julie Biuso, Viva section of the NZ Herald newspaper
'As a statement of where we are now as a nation, culinary speaking, there
could not be a better book to send overseas for Christmas.'
David Burton, Evening Post newspaper, Wellington
NZ
The New Zealand Baker was book of the week and received a very favourable
review on Leighton Smith's high rating morning show on Auckland radio station
Newstalk ZB.
'I can see this book being part of the 'must have' recipe book collection,
or even a textook for trainee bakers, patisseries and chefs. This book
is worth every dollar of its price.'
