You had me at Nutella.

Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito have released their second cookbook, Baked Explorations, a follow-up to their popular cookbook, Baked. While Baked is a beautiful, drool-inducing book, I didn't have the greatest results with the two recipes I tried, so I wasn't planning on picking up the new book. But then someone mentioned that it has a recipe for pumpkin cheddar muffins. I was intrigued. Forget the pumpkin cheddar muffins though, they have a recipe for Nutella scones! Say no more, I'm giving Matt and Renato a second chance. They have a bunch of recipes I'm just dying to try besides the scones and pumpkin muffins: sweet and salty brownies, whoopie pies, burnt sugar bundt cake with caramel rum frosting. Should I continue? They also have recipes for some of my favorite things to bake, including mint grasshopper bars, buckeyes, and pecan tassies, so I'm interested to see how their recipes will differ from mine. Even if I don't make anything from this book though, it's a great book just to read and look at the pictures. Pure food porn. My only criticism is that there aren't photographs of every recipe. Stay tuned for the results of my baked exploration.
