A Good Day to Bake: Simple Baking Recipes for Every Mood

Review Quotes:

"There may not be a better case for the stylishness of beige than Benjamina Ebuehi's latest cookbook, A Good Day to Bake. The book's clean minimalism and soft neutral hues set the stage for narrow slices of toasty malted brown butter pound cake and golden spirals of chamomile lemon dough. The 70 recipes prove that you don't need much more than sugar, flour, and butter to massively improve your afternoon tea or coffee break." -TASTE

"A Good Day has a breezy, impulse-baking feel--you know, when you wake up on Sunday morning and think, "Scones?" (In those moments, rosemary and honey scones are the answer.)" -Alex Beggs, Bon Appetit

"Her confident, friendly demeanor and creative flavor combinations won me over." -Julie Chernoff, Better

"These are recipes for the everyday, when a craving strikes and an ordinary evening calls for a tart, some shortbread, or a pound cake that tastes way better than any non-occasion deserves." -Eater

"Combined with stunning photography and a dreamy aesthetic, these recipes feel modern yet approachable." -Janelle Bitker, Soleil Ho, and Elena Kadvany, The San Francisco Chronicle

"An especially and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, professional, family, and community library cookbook collections." - Midwest Book Review

"To borrow a bit from the GBBO judging criteria, Ebuehi is good with flavors. Her recipes are organized to emphasize this aspect of baking" -Eater

"Of all the books I've pored over in 2022, "A Good Day to Bake" is the prettiest, an escape into a timeless English dream world of sticky toffee treacle tarts and split scones spread with clotted cream." -Jennifer Reese, The New York Times
