Sift
by Nicola Lamb
James Beard Award Winner • IACP Award Winner
Equal parts science, story, and pure baking joy, Sift is pastry chef Nicola Lamb’s essential guide to the art (and chemistry) of baking. Blending practical, easy-to-follow advice with over 100 rigorously tested recipes, Lamb demystifies the techniques that turn good bakes into great ones—texture, rise, crumb, and color included.
Organized by time and skill level, Sift makes room for every kind of baker: quick wins like Miso Walnut Double-Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies, all-day projects like Mango Shortcake with Candied Lime, and weekend undertakings like classic Pain au Chocolat. Beautiful photography and smart illustrations make even the most advanced recipes approachable—and inspire confidence along the way.
As Portland’s James Beard Market opens just steps from our shop, we’re celebrating the city’s love of culinary craft with award-winning cookbooks like Sift—the kind that belong open (and dusted with flour) on every kitchen counter.
