An Evening Celebrating PAN Y DULCE with Bryan Ford

Join Bold Fork Books, Bryan Ford, and Aaron Hutcherson for a celebration of the release of PAN Y DULCE: The Latin American Baking Book (Pastries, Desserts, Rustic Breads, Savory Baking, and More) , Bryan Ford's second and highly anticipated cookbook.
ABOUT PAN Y DULCE
Star Baker Bryan Ford is here to guide bakers through Latin America through sharing the cultures and stories behind every recipe: artisan bread, pan dulce, cookies, pastries, and more.
The acclaimed author of New World Sourdough and judge on Netflix's Blue Ribbon Baking Championship, Bryan is changing how the world bakes with recipes that are “full of deep expertise” yet “unusually warm [and] friendly” (New York Times). In PAN Y DULCE he helps home bakers embrace the extraordinary world of Latin American baking and break free of Eurocentric approaches to the craft. Enter medialunas: full of tender layers, glazed with sugar. Alfajores sandwiched with dulce de leche. Fluffy conchas and pan de coco—and so much more.
Ford delivers practical know-how alongside the history and culture behind each of 150 "mouthwatering" recipes (Pati Jinich, author of Treasures of the Mexican Table). This is an essential book for home bakers looking to expand their understanding of the craft—while tasting the best of México, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.
