Cookbook Authors

It’s no coincidence that Northern Europeans are some of the happiest people on Earth - they know how to take a break and enjoy a sweet treat.

JOÏ - baking and photographing Northern European pastry

Self-taught baker Joanna and food photographer Cyntia take us on a sensory journey in their cookbook, "JOÏ - Baking and photographing Northern European pastry", through the world of pastry and confections from the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany and Britain; sharing personal anecdotes, and drool-worthy photos. 


Enthusiastic home-bakers eager to try their hand at some original recipes will enjoy preparing unpretentious, single-serving treats like cardamom buns, bakewell tartlets, marzipan cookies, sour cherry pies, and more. Detailed instructions, troubleshooting tips and interactive resources make the recipes in this cookbook accessible, including the more ambitious bakes. 


Spread the joy by sharing your handiwork with friends and family; if not in-person, then through gorgeous photos you can achieve using Cyntia’s photography tips.


Letter to our readers
