This gorgeous full-colour cookbook will feature 60 recipes, from modern floral cakes and cupcakes to rustic farmer’s market sweets made with seasonal fruits.

In a more modern twist, Magid transforms classic treats into elegant confections made with organic ingredients, so you know what you-and your kids-are biting into are just as healthful as they are fun to eat. Along the way Magid encourages readers to develop their own baking styles.And whether they need to whip up a simple recipe for a last-minute dinner party or knock their friends’ and family’s socks off with more elaborate recipes, organic food lovers are sure to relish this book. Innovative and bold cake-decorating techniques include bright, eye-popping flowers, hand-sculpted leaves, and metallic-painted brushstrokes. Farm-fresh and organic foods continue to be more and more accessible, and the market for them is growing quickly.

Organic and Chic is as much an expression of fashion, style, and taste as it is of living well and protecting the environment.
