Lewis and Poliafito approach their recipes with enthusiasm and dedication. Boston Globe
Its official. Im a goner. I love this cookbook. . . . While many restaurant pastry chefs around the country are out there pushing the envelope and falling off the cutting edge adding savory ingredients to deconstructed molecular gastronomy masterpieces, Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito have delivered another collection of uniquely approachable and delicious baked creations to satisfy any craving. Austin Chronicle
Nobody, nobody has a better grasp on the kinds of recipes that make people happily gum up the pages of a book with cookie dough or retire their grandmothers famous recipe for cinnamon rolls (because it didnt include pumpkin) than the Baked guys. This book is full of the stuff of American bakery-case dreams. Deb Perelman, creator of Smitten Kitchen
Not a page goes by without some personal anecdote, tip, or bit of advice that makes every recipe feel personal, well-tested, and well-loved. The book itself is gorgeous, with drool-worthy photos and an elegant layout that makes finding old favorites easy and choosing new treats a breeze. Serious Eats
