Buttery brioche, addictive cream-filled donuts, dainty cakes, melt-in-your-mouth sweet tarts, and moreish savoury pastries from Auckland's best-kept secret- the kitchen of the Little and Friday cafes. You know you're on to something when the queue for a cafe stretches out to the pavement most weekends. So it is at Little and Friday's two Auckland locations. Those in the know flock to the stores in Ponsonby and Newmarket to get their fill. In this delightful cookbook, owner Kim Evans, a self-taught baker, shares the recipes for her most popular tarts, biscuits, savouries and cakes. Adapted for the home cook, Kim's approachable recipes and helpful hints allow even the novice baker to master the delights of her delicious cafe treats.

Kim Evans is the creative genius behind the Little & Friday cafes in Auckland. A sculptor by training, she is a self-taught cook who started selling home-baked goodies at the Takapuna Market. The demand quickly grew to the point that she needed a commercial-sized kitchen, which she sited in a disused shop in Belmont. Before long she added a shop counter and opened first one, then two, then four days a week. Within a year it got so busy she took over the shop next door and became a fully-fledged six days a week cafe. Now she has two bustling Little & Friday cafes open in Newmarket and Ponsonby and a never-ending stream of adoring customers.
