The ultimate guide to baking the world's best-loved pastry. This special, limited edition of the debut cookbook from Lune, the world-renowned croissant bakery in Australia, comprises a luxurious slipcase, featuring holographic foil and ribbon, and contains a 272-page cookbook and an exclusive 48-page anniversary lookbook celebrating the first 10 years of Lune. Both hardback volumes feature holographic foil and stunning colour photography throughout. Lune Croissanterie is one of the most talked about bakeries in the world. From rave reviews from Nigella Lawson, Yotam Ottolenghi, René Redzepi and Rachel Khoo, to features in news outlets such as New York Times and The Guardian, Lune has been touted as 'the best croissant in the world' since it opened its doors in 2012. Customers are queuing quite literally around the block from the early hours to eat Lune's pastries, but what makes this book so special is how Kate Reid elevates croissant pastry from a classic breakfast staple to a refined vehicle for breakfast, lunch and dinner. With step-by-step techniques for rolling and shaping croissants, followed by recipes for every hour of the day, plus what to do with leftovers and how to make a croissant a special occasion, this is the ultimate guide to baking the world's best-loved pastry.

ケイト・リードによる本書は、レシピ集の枠を超え、一つの「完璧」を追求した哲学書のような趣を湛えています。伝説的ベーカリーの歩みが凝縮されたこの特別版は、クロワッサンという日常を朝食から晩餐まで彩る高潔な芸術へと昇華させました。緻密な技術と写真は、読者を甘美でストイックな創造の迷宮へと誘います。 ホログラムが煌めく装丁は、生地の層が織りなす美の象徴であり、一人の情熱が世界を熱狂させるまでの軌跡を記した叙事詩でもあります。著者の視線は、ミクロな重なりからマクロな食卓の幸福へと注がれています。本書は究極の「美」を自らの手で生むための、最も贅沢で情熱的な招待状と言えるでしょう。
