Common Ground Books Sweet Laurel Savory

Written by Laurel Gallucci & Claire Thomas

85 beautifully photographed recipes for delectable dishes and satisfying snacks that are gluten-free, refined sugar-free, keto and paleo-friendly, and made with whole food ingredients, from the trendsetters behind Sweet Laurel Bakery.

After being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Disease, lifelong baker Laurel Gallucci refused to accept that she’d never eat cake again. That’s why she started Sweet Laurel Bakery, a sweet shop with both a brick-and-mortar location and national delivery dedicated to decadent treats made only with whole food ingredients.

Now in Sweet Laurel Savory, co-authored with her creative director, Claire Thomas, readers will enjoy the same principle—delicious simplicity (rather than restriction)—applied this time to the world of savory baking and cooking, including breads, pizza, pastas, quiches, pot pies, bowls, and more. The foundation for dishes like Sicilian Pan Pizza, The Ultimate Sweet Laurel Burger with Sweet Potato Fries, and Zucchini Lattice Tart rely on simple and readily available core ingredients like almond flour, cassava flour, arrowroot, eggs, and salt.

Sweet Laurel Savory makes it possible to eat well and feel great without all the effort. Home cooks and savory bakers will delight at the range of recipes that are as doable as they are delicious and flavorful.
