Baking with Fortitude by Dee Rettali

This beautiful hardback cookbook is written by our co-founder Dee Rettali. It brings together a lifetime of baking experience and the distinctive approach that defines Fortitude Bakehouse. Inspired by Dee’s Irish and Moroccan roots, the recipes pair carefully chosen fruits, spices and ingredients to create bakes full of character, from white grape and rosemary cake to Marrakeshi mint and orange peel sourdough loaf cake.

Choose from 90 recipes, many of which are refreshingly simple, made by hand in a single bowl with no specialist equipment. Others explore fermentation and sourdough-inspired starters, allowing flavours to develop naturally while offering the flexibility to prepare ahead.

Rooted in the seasonal, resourceful baking Dee grew up with in rural Ireland, these recipes bring time-honoured craftsmanship into a modern kitchen, with a focus on natural flavour, thoughtful ingredients and bakes made to be enjoyed.
