When The French Bastards crashed onto the Paris pastry scene in 2019, they turned heads. On a mission to bring fun and unexpected twists to precision baking, within days there were queues around the block for their chocolate babka, cruffins, feather-light croissants, baguettes and charcoal-sesame bread.

With a global Instagram following and praise from peers around the world, this book includes 50 of the bakery’s most iconic recipes to enable anyone around the globe to recreate their ‘boulangerie, patisserie, bastarderie’ vibes at home. From classics such as chocolate eclairs and pecan Paris-brest to buzzy modern favourites such as popcorn and caramel cheesecake and brioche pizza, you can find recipes that are guaranteed to impress.

With fun, stylised photography of the bakery capturing the vibrant concept and classically Parisian locations, step-by-step techniques and tips for the home cook, The French Bastards is a cool, creative vision of the dynamic future of Parisian patisserie.
