"Liz and Chad created much more than a bakery. They tapped into a next-level frequency and, thankfully, we can all tune in. The breadcrumb trail comes full circle with this revisit to the original Tartine classic. I am inspired by where they've been, love where they are, and I'm excited to see where they take us next."—Chris Bianco, author of Bianco: Pizza, Pasta, and Other Food I Like

Tartine is one of the most acclaimed and inspiring bakeries in the world. Here is co-owners Elisabeth Pruiett and Chad Robertson's first, classic Tartine cookbook, fully updated with 68 all-new recipes and 55 refreshed favorites.

These recipes capture the invention and, above all, deliciousness that Tartine is known for—including their most requested recipe, the Morning Bun. Favorites from the original recipe book are revamped to speak to our tastes today and to include whole-grain and/or gluten-free variations, as well as intriguing new ingredients and global techniques. More than 150 drop-dead gorgeous photographs from acclaimed team Gentl + Hyers make this baking and pastry book a true collectible compendium and must-have for bakers of all skill levels.

THE BREAD BOOK THAT SAVED LOCKDOWN: When the world turned inward and reached for the comfort of bread making, Tartine Bread is the bread baking book they relied on. This, their original cookbook, is the perfect companion volume for any home baker ready to venture beyond artisan sourdough to create such irresistible treats as Fruit Galettes, Honey Spice Cake, Pecan Diamonds, Matcha-Glazed Croissants, Savory Scones, and Millionaire's Chocolate Caramel Tart.

MODERNIST CUISINE MADE ACCESSIBLE: As pastry chef David Lebovitz, author of My Paris Kitchen and Drinking French, notes, "The original Tartine cookbook took us into their kitchen, and Elisabeth and Chad's exciting update adds all-new recipes, gluten-free versions, and gorgeous photos to their classic baking book. If you can't make it to the bakery (but even if you can), you'll want to add Tartine: A Classic Revisited to your collection!"

FOR THE DISCERNING COOKBOOK COLLECTOR: If you liked Tartine All Day by Elisabeth Prueitt, Flour Water Salt Yeast by Ken Forkish, or Giuseppe's Italian Bakes, you'll love Tartine: A Classic Revisited!

Perfect for:

• Devotees of Tartine Bakery and the San Francisco food scene
• Home cooks seeking easy-to-achieve baking recipes
• Beginner and advanced bread bakers
• Birthday, housewarming, or holiday gift

Editorial Reviews

11/04/2019

Prueitt and Robertson update and expand their 2006 Tartine with this impressive new edition, which features 68 new recipes and updates to dozens more. Recipes cover nearly any baking need, from quick breakfast bites to refined desserts, and the chatty headnotes lend the book an informal, friendly vibe. Which is not to say the recipes aren’t on point: they are precise (rendered in both weight and volume measurements), and the instructions are just meticulous enough. The basic croissant recipe—well worth the price of admission on its own—spans four pages before spinning off a number of variations, including for one made with matcha dough and a chocolate croissant, and the show-stopping buche de noel with its numerous sub-recipes should tempt ambitious home bakers. Those with less kitchen experience will find plenty of options for doable but elegant cookies, tarts, and cakes, while the savory options—a ham and cheese bread pudding, a gussied-up corn dog cousin in the form of a croissant-wrapped hot dog, an olive cake—present excellent options for bakers looking to branch out. Much of this may be intimidating to kitchen novices, but for avid home bakers, this is a no-brainer. (Oct.)

Publishers Weekly

Tartine Bakery opened in 2002, and in the intervening years, it has become an anchor for the neighborhood, a defining institution for the city of San Francisco, and a beacon of taste and flavor for people the whole country over. In short, Tartine is about as authentic—and indispensable—as a bakery can get. No wonder people are still lining up." —Alice Waters, American chef and owner of Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California from the foreword

"Liz and Chad created much more than a bakery. They tapped into a next-level frequency and, thankfully, we can all tune in. The breadcrumb trail comes full circle with this revisit to the original Tartine classic. I am inspired by where they’ve been, love where they are, and I’m excited to see where they take us next."—Chris Bianco, Pizzeria Bianco, Tartine Bianco, and author of Bianco

"Elisabeth Prueitt and Chad Robertson of Tartine have grown their famed San Francisco bakery into a small empire, with branches in Los Angeles and Seoul, South Korea, and have written five cookbooks between them. Now, 13 years after the release of their celebrated first book, “Tartine,” they’ve gone back to their roots with "Tartine: A Classic Revisited". It features 68 new recipes, including their beloved morning buns (a sweet roll made with croissant dough and filled with orange-scented cinnamon sugar), as well as updates to older ones to reflect current tastes. Alternative flours abound, and more modern flavors run through traditional pastries. The recipes can be involved, and produce absolute showstoppers, but the book is also full of more accessible classics like shortbread and brownies." - New York Times, A Best Fall Cookbook of 2019

"This revised edition of the beloved baking bible is basically a brand new book, with 55 updated recipes you may already know and love (but better), plus 68 totally new ones, including gluten-free options and the sought-after recipe for the bakery's lauded morning bun. As you can tell, the photographs are stunning too." —Chowhound

“Tartine changed the pastry scene in San Francisco, and it quickly became a must-stop in the city. Their superlative croissants were the star, but their other treats (justifiably) won accolades as well. The original Tartine cookbook took us into their kitchen, and Elisabeth and Chad’s exciting update adds all-new recipes, gluten-free versions, and gorgeous photos to their classic baking book. If you can’t make it to the bakery (but even if you can), you’ll want to add Tartine: A Classic Revisited to your collection!”
-David Lebovitz, author of My Paris Kitchen and Drinking French
