Beyond Baking: Plant-based Baking for a New Era
Purchase options and add-ons
Beyond Baking is an evolution in pastry from award-winning pastry chef Philip Khoury – an exploration of how far baking can go when it’s guided by flavour, process, and purpose, rather than tradition alone.
These recipes are the result of years of rethinking everything – what gives structure, what builds richness, what creates lift and tenderness – without relying on eggs, dairy, or highly processed alternatives. Instead, they use familiar, natural ingredients to achieve results that feel completely fresh: croissants that shatter, cakes that stay tender for days, savoury pies that could hold their own in any bakery window.
Inside, you’ll find easier bakes like Peanut Butter Choc Chop Cookies and Light Fruit Cake, showstoppers like Pistachio and Raspberry Cream Dream and Muscovado Medovic and a dedicated chapter on laminated pastries featuring Croissants, Almond Pain au Chocolat, and other sweet risen treats like glazed Doughnuts and Pistachio Babka. The savoury chapter brings deeply satisfying options like Corn-ish Pasties, Sausy Roll and Nightshade Quiche, all made with technical care and zero shortcuts.
Foundational techniques are clearly explained in The Plantry, and select new recipes include QR code tutorials to walk you through every fold, mix, and proof. Whether you’re just beginning or looking to expand your craft, Beyond Baking invites you to look again at what baking can be when it’s not copying what came before, but creating what comes next.

With a focus on flavour, texture and creativity, his recipes showcase the incredible potential of plant-based ingredients and demonstrate that ethical eating doesn't have to mean sacrificing taste.

Will make you rethink what is possible without animal products
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2026I received this as a gift and love it! All the recipes have been a hit so far.
This book is perfect for someone who wants to recreate classic baked goods without animal products. I've adapted many non vegan recipes to be vegan over the years, with mixed results, so starting with a vegan recipe is a delight.
These are not simple recipes, but Khoury makes them accessible. His instructions are clear and each one I've tried has been a huge hit. This is the kind of book that will make you a better baker.
