Zelda Bakery is an inspiring cookbook and personal celebration of Jewish baking by Maaryasha Werdiger, founder of Melbourne's cult sourdough microbakery. Blending tradition with reinvention, the book guides readers through everything from bagels and babka to kimchi knishes, honey cake and the ultimate chocolate chip cookie - all rooted in Jewish culture and given a modern twist.
Structured around sourdough fundamentals, laminated doughs and festive bakes for the Jewish calendar, each chapter offers clear, practical instructions alongside stories from Maaryasha's journey - from backyard experiments to cult bakery success. Generous, joyful and full of care, this is a contemporary baking book for anyone who finds meaning in good bread, good traditions and feeding others.
