San Francisco Cookbook Week Recipes

The Almond Board is thrilled to be a sponsor of "You Had Me at Almonds" Cookbook Week Sale. Six of the country’s most celebrated bakers walked into Kantine Bakery in SF. Each made an almond-based treat. Hopefully, you got to eat all of them—and now you get to make them at home.

 

Pastry Chefs Nichole Accettola, Roxana Jullapat, Justin Burke, Elisa Sunga, Domenica Marchetti, and Christina Tosi each contributed an original creation to an exclusive bake sale at Kantine. Six celebrated bakers, six distinct approaches: Accettola’s elegance, Tosi’s invention, Marchetti’s Italian soul, Burke’s precision, Jullapat’s grain-forward vision, and Sunga’s playful spirit…all in one beautifully curated box.

 

They're all cookbook authors as well! It’s a bake sale, a book signing, and a love letter to almonds all in one sweet afternoon.
