Following the success of her first book Treats from Little and Friday, Kim
Evans presents sweet and savoury recipes for a host of fun-filled occasions in
her latest cookbook offering Little and Friday Celebrations.
Mouth-watering miniature tarts and cakes, savoury galettes, breads, biscuits
and decorative cakes cater for simple gatherings, such as a summer picnic,
birthday lunch, Mother's Day get-together and outdoor movie night, through to a
kids' party, Easter, Christmas, wedding, 21st and high tea. Capturing the
delightful style that has made Kim's Little and Friday cafes so popular, the
recipes in this book promise plenty of good times with friends and family –
and make every day worthy of a celebration.
About the Author
A fine arts graduate, Kim Evans is a self-taught baker who started her Auckland
bakery Little and Friday with just $3000. From small beginnings – a tiny
shop-front open on Fridays only – she has established two popular Auckland
cafes where on most weekends queues stretch out to the pavement. Kim and her
team begin baking at dawn each morning in order to fill Little and
Friday's glass cabinets with buttery brioche, sticky donuts, dainty cakes, and
delectable tarts and savouries. She is a firm advocate of free-range and organic
produce, and has planted her own cafe garden to supply herbs, salad greens and
edible flowers. Kim surrounds herself with staff with a passion for food. ‘You
can teach baking,’ she says, ‘but you can't teach passion.’
