The Baker's Book
Recipes, notes and wisdom from the kitchens of Australia's most inspiring bakers
Australia is home to a vibrant and inspiring baking culture, celebrated for its creativity, heart, and unique flavors. In The Baker's Book, Ruby Goss brings together over 30 of Australia’s best bakers into one compelling, inspiring collection of more than 60 recipes, ranging from small indulgent treats to impressive desserts and savory bakes.
Alongside the recipes, you’ll find heartfelt kitchen wisdom that reminds us why we bake: for love, connection, and the simple pleasure of creating something delicious.
The wide range of recipes will suit any mood or occasion. Treat yourself to small indulgences like marshmallow brownies, lemon, thyme, and honey madeleines, or pistachio amaretti. For morning or afternoon teas, try a decadent babka or a vibrant plum streusel cake. Special occasions call for showstoppers such as tiramisu cake, a strawberry, chocolate, and balsamic lamington stack, or a chocolate, amaretto, and sour cherry tart. Savory options abound with dishes like spinach, leek, and smoked cheddar slab pie, potato bread with roasted garlic butter, or a delicate pea and feta tart. There’s no shortage of unforgettable sweets, including a Negroni chocolate tart, peaches and cream meringue tower, or a pandan, coconut, and mango chiffon roll.
Contributors include some of Australia’s most celebrated bakers, including Emelia Jackson, Nadine Ingram, Michael James, Jo Barrett, Danielle Alvarez, Raymond Tan, and more.
Whether you’re a seasoned baker or just starting your journey, The Baker's Book is your passport to Australia’s legendary baking scene—no travel required.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
