Sweden's most decorated and beloved pastry chef and baker duo, Frida Bäcke and Bedros Kabranian, are finally releasing a book together! After jointly opening Socker Sucker in Stockholm in the autumn of 2022, the successes have kept piling up. Industry peers have voted Socker Sucker Pastry Chefs' Bakery of the Year every single year since, while Frida Bäcke has continued her run as Pastry Chefs' Pastry Chef, a title she'd already started collecting before that.
Socker Sucker has made a name for itself by keeping an insanely high standard on every single bake, establishing a new frontline for Swedish bakery and pastry craft. The most recent external gig for Bäcke and Kabranian was handling dessert and bread for the 2024 Nobel Banquet.
This recipe book is packed with pastries and buns and holds about fifty recipes featuring the very best from the bakery. Everything from buns, bread and pastries to the razor-sharp precision and perfection that Socker stands for is presented in a clear and thoroughly appetite-inducing way.
The book covers special pastries from throughout the year, semlor, Easter treats, Midsummer cake, apple pie and the obligatory Christmas bakes like lussebullar and vörtbröd. Naturally it also covers classics like croissants, cinnamon buns, Mille Feuille and Tart Tartin, all done the Socker Sucker way (which is to say, better).
This might very well be the most anticipated Swedish book of the 21st century, in any category!
