Praise

“Buy it, treasure it, stain the pages.”—Food & Wine

“I couldn’t be more excited. . . . [Fleming’s] unfussily elegant sweets are interspersed with savory baking recipes as well—think cheddar-Stilton scones, sweet potato and miso rolls, pecan olive shortbread, kumquat tarte tatin. Delectable, indeed.”—Saveur

“Fans of Claudia Fleming, the legendary pastry chef, have been waiting 21 years for a follow-up to her equally legendary first book, The Last Course. The wait was worth it: These recipes, the products of Fleming’s time in pandemic isolation, are a home baker’s fantasia.”—Eater

“Fleming shifts her exacting attention from restaurant pastries to those she creates in her small home kitchen. . . . We’re excited.”—Epicurious 

“Claudia Fleming’s first cookbook, The Last Course, is a cult classic among pastry chefs. . . . But I loved Delectable because it brings her classic, cozy sensibility to family-style breads, cakes, tarts, and some savory baking—the olive-and anchovy-rich escarole pie is a marvel, with a particularly light and flaky crust.”—Tejal Rao, The New York Times  

“Delectable represents not just a new chapter in the pastry chef’s life and career, but also a homecoming.”—The Washington Post
