In The Tivoli Road Baker, British-born pastry chef Michael James and his team share the knowledge that goes into creating standout bread and pastries.

The mission is to make these recipes accessible for people who are new to the art while also including tips, ideas and inspiration to challenge more skilled cooks and bakers. Chapters cover basic to advanced bread making techniques, sweet pastries, savoury favorites as well as a handful of British recipes close to Michael’s heart, including Cornish pasties.

The reader will also learn about the importance of starting with quality produce, offering a small window on the valuable (but mostly unsung role) played by farmers in the growing global appetite for real bread.

A beautiful book that shares some of the X-factor that makes its namesake so successful. Chapters are divided into Bread, Viennoiserie, Savoury, Pastry, Seasonal, British Bakery, Basics and Larder.

Michael James

Michael James grew up in Penzance, West Cornwall. He moved to London at the age of 18 and worked at the five-star Selsdon Park Hotel before joining Tom Aikens at the two-Michelin star restaurant Pied-a-Terre.

It was here he met his Australian wife Pippa. After moving to Sydney in 2004, he had the opportunity to work and learn with Dave McGuinness and Paul Allam at Bourke Street Bakery.

This job was the start of his baking career, and he has never looked back.

Pippa James

Originally from Canberra, Pippa James worked for Janet Jeffs before moving to London, on a mission to get some experience in fine-dining restaurants.

She worked at Pied-a-Terre and The Greenhouse, before returning to Australia as restaurant manager at Flying Fish in Sydney, and then HR manager at Vue de monde in Melbourne.

Pippa was general manager of the Andrew McConnell restaurants Cutler & Co. and Golden Fields, before opening Tivoli Road Bakery with Michael.
