In their third cookbook, Baked Elements: Our 10 Favorite Ingredients, acclaimed authors Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito present 75 inventive new recipes revolving solely around their 10 most-loved ingredients—from peanut butter and caramel to malt and booze. Lewis and Poliafito celebrate these favorite elements—chocolate, for instance, or bananas—baking each one into a variety of delicious cookies, bars, cakes, milkshakes, and more, sweets perfect for everyday cravings, special occasions, late-night celebrations, and weekend get-togethers. Complete with the signature stories and commentary that fans adore, chapters also include feature-ingredient infographics with quirky facts and charts and helpful Baked notes that make creating these desserts as easy as pie.

Praise for Baked Elements:

“From the writers of my favorite baking books of all time, a must-own for any baking enthusiast.” —Zoe Deschanel

“Lewis and Poliafito approach their recipes with enthusiasm and dedication.” —Boston Globe

“It’s official. I’m a goner. I love this cookbook. . . . While many restaurant pastry chefs around the country are out there pushing the envelope and falling off the cutting edge adding savory ingredients to deconstructed molecular gastronomy masterpieces, Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito have delivered another collection of uniquely approachable and delicious baked creations to satisfy any craving.” —Austin Chronicle

“Nobody, nobody has a better grasp on the kinds of recipes that make people happily gum up the pages of a book with cookie dough or retire their grandmother’s famous recipe for cinnamon rolls (because it didn’t include pumpkin) than the Baked guys. This book is full of the stuff of American bakery-case dreams.” —Deb Perelman, creator of Smitten Kitchen

“Not a page goes by without some personal anecdote, tip, or bit of advice that makes every recipe feel personal, well-tested, and well-loved. The book itself is gorgeous, with drool-worthy photos and an elegant layout that makes finding old favorites easy and choosing new treats a breeze.” —Serious Eats

Dive into decadence

I found the writer adorably sweet. The recipes are appealing except for the fudge as I am a fudge snob, and the photos luscious. Why not 5stars?
For me it was liking at my own sugar junky issues. I liked it too much.

Culinary Madness Headed to Your Mouth

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2012

I own the previous two Baked Books and still drool over the glossy photos as much as I did on the days that I purchased them. I couldn't wait to pick up a copy of Baked Elements. How can anyone resist a book by the guys who brought us the Baked brownie?

Baked Elements is a collection of about 75 recipes based on the top ten favorite ingredients of Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito. So what are those top ten ingredients? Nothing short of decadent destruction for your waistline, I fear. They chose peanut butter; lemon and lime; caramel; booze; pumpkin; malted milk powder; cinnamon; cheese (think savory and sweet recipes, folks); chocolate; and banana. All of their luscious twists on great American desserts showcase the aforementioned ingredients beautifully and prominently!

The authors open with some pointers on basic equipment as well as ingredients and techniques you'll need to work your magic with their recipes and then they immediately head into the good stuff, the recipes. Every chapter is headlined by a neat page of applicable clip art-like pics with cool facts regarding the ingredient. For example, you'll learn that peanut butter in the U.S. has to contain at least 90% peanuts.

However, despite the cuteness of design here, the substance of the book is in the glorious recipes and the full page photo spreads of the finished product. You won't get a photo for every recipe but I don't see that as a flaw in this book although I'll never turn down a picture of something these guys baked.

After a week long adventure of gourging myself on pumpkin desserts from a different book, I decided to reset the palate by trying their Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Scones. Oh my! It was the embodiment of everything a scone should be: tender, crumbly, moist, rich with chocolate studs, no less, and the beguiling afternote (and pleasant texture)of crunchy peanut butter. I won't say how many I ate in a sitting, but the authors would be pleased...or mildly disgusted.

I think anyone will enjoy the food in this book at any time of year, but fall is in the air and many of the chapters are especially appropriate for this time of year. So if you were thinking of purchasing it, I heartily encourage it and I'll add that this book would make a welcome Christmas gift for the serious baker in the family.

Just as many great recipes as the other two books

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2012

I felt a little bit silly at first buying this book, since I have the other two. I figured that this would all just be variations on a theme, and I was right about that - nothing in here is outside their themes of homey ingredients like bananas, chocolate, peanut butter, caramel. But frankly, I just love having more recipes from these guys! I appreciate that they organized the book by main ingredient instead of by the type of recipe - I think I prefer it the normal way, but it is interesting nonetheless. I will be making two of the recipes in this book over the next week for the holidays.

We have purchased all three Baked books and have yet to make something bad. The recipes can be a little time consuming at times, but the end product is well worth it. Just made the Holiday Spice cake and it was a HUGE success! The only negative about this book is the way it is organized- I prefer to have the recipes organized by type (cookies, bars, cakes...), this book is organized by the 10 favorite ingredients.

Great book.

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2012

Verified Purchase

I like this book a lot. The recipes are clearly defined and easy to follow, and I everything (5-6 items) I've made has turned out great. I wish I could give 4 3/4 stars.

The only issue is the lack of pictures. It has a number of them, but not every item has one and I like that when dealing with food.

I am a beginner-intermediate baker, and nothing in this book is too complicated for me to do.

My first "Baked" cookbook, but not my last!

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2012

Verified Purchase

The only thing I would change about this cookbook would be to add more pictures of the recipes. However, it is a minor issue as it does have several wonderful photos and it is a visually appealing book from cover to cover. As for the recipes, they are fabulous! They are easy to follow, most ingredients I have on hand and the recipes I have tried appear to be fail-proof. I have already recommended this cookbook to friends and know that I will use mine often in the years to come!

I have been lokking forward to this book coming out for ages and on the first try (I made the pumpkin almond cake)I have to say that it was easy to follow, the cake was delicious and I can't wait to try some more! Always amazed that my efforts turn out quite like the pics. It is a great addition to the other two books. Don't worry about some of the ingredients, because you can either buy them via Amazon or other online stores that stock American goods, also a quick check on Bing or Google and you can work out any terms you are unsure of very easily.

The authors have suggested reciped using their 10 favourite ingredients but there just wasn't enough content or variety for me. I have the feeling that this is one book that I will not be using very often.

For some reason, when it comes to baking books, I prefer american ones. The previous Baked books are great and this one is as good the others. Indulgent but accessible and the guys passion really shines through. My fave. series of baking books and each of them, including this one, stands alone (no re-hashing of recipes from previous books). Highly recommended
