Beyond Baking ups the ante on plant-based baking, with sweet and savoury recipes that use simple, natural, plant-based ingredients.
Beyond Baking is an evolution in pastry from award-winning pastry chef Philip Khoury – an exploration of how far baking can go when it’s guided by flavour, process, and purpose, rather than tradition alone.
These recipes are the result of years of rethinking everything – what gives structure, what builds richness, what creates lift and tenderness – without relying on eggs, dairy, or highly processed alternatives. Instead, they use familiar, natural ingredients to achieve results that feel completely fresh: croissants that shatter, cakes that stay tender for days, savoury pies that could hold their own in any bakery window.
Inside, you’ll find easier bakes like Peanut Butter Choc Chop Cookies and Light Fruit Cake, showstoppers like Pistachio and Raspberry Cream Dream and Muscovado Medovic and a dedicated chapter on laminated pastries featuring Croissants, Almond Pain au Chocolat, and other sweet risen treats like glazed Doughnuts and Pistachio Babka. The savoury chapter brings deeply satisfying options like Corn-ish Pasties, Sausy Roll and Nightshade Quiche, all made with technical care and zero shortcuts.
Foundational techniques are clearly explained in The Plantry, and select new recipes include QR code tutorials to walk you through every fold, mix, and proof. Whether you’re just beginning or looking to expand your craft, Beyond Baking invites you to look again at what baking can be when it’s not copying what came before, but creating what comes next.
