Beatrix Bakes: 15th Anniversary Edition - Natalie Paull

Natalie Paull

Embrace the unparalleled joys of baking seasonally and creatively with this mouth-watering collection of recipes from Melbourne’s tiny beloved bakery, Beatrix. This new edition – released to mark the 15th anniversary of Beatrix’s opening – brings fresh life to the classic with a vibrant new cover and the same joyful, irreverent spirit that made it a modern baking icon. 

For Natalie Paull, baking is a gift. It’s also a powerful elixir of pleasure, connection, generosity and joy. Beatrix Bakes celebrates baking’s sweetest moments with more than seventy recipes designed to inspire bakers of all kinds to mix and match, adapt and personalise – whether it’s a Lemon curd cream crepe cake or Pecan maple cinnamon scrolls.

The recipes are divided across eight chapters: Doughs, pastries & crusts; Tarts, pies, a crostata & a galette; The cake list; One in the hand; Yeasted bakes; Fruit-full; Creams, custards, fillings, glazes and buttercreams; and Finishing touches.

While Natalie’s creations are inspired by classics the world over, they’re joyfully irreverent too – and in Beatrix Bakes, she shows readers that once the foundations are right, the true magic lies in a willingness to play (with the insurance of her clever ideas and back-up plans always close at hand).

Beatrix Bakes will guide anyone who loves the adventure of baking to perfect their skills – and break the baking mould.
