Club de pâtisserie

The savory section alone is worth it—I've already made three recipes and every one came out better than I expected. Even my picky teenager asked for seconds on the cheddar scones, which never happens.

My mom and I (she's 72) made the cheddar-scallion scones last weekend and both of us were shocked at how simple the steps were—no fancy equipment, just a bowl and a fork. The savory section alone is worth it, and I've already dog-eared a dozen pages for the week ahead.

I'm a total beginner baker and the way each recipe is broken down makes it feel doable, even the ones with more steps. The mix of sweet and savory means I've already found a dozen things I want to try, and it's been fun flipping through for something to make for dinner instead of dessert.
