Food52 Genius Desserts: 100 Recipes That Will Change the Way You Bake [A Baking Book] (Food52 Works)
Description
In this follow-up to the IACP award-winning, New York Times best-selling
cookbook Genius Recipes, Food52 is back with the most beloved and talked-about
desserts of our time (and the under-the-radar gems that will soon join their
ranks)—in a collection that will make you a local legend, and a smarter baker
to boot. IACP AWARD WINNER • Featured as one of the best and most anticipated
fall cookbooks by the New York Times, Eater, Epicurious, The Kitchn, Kitchen
Arts & Letters, Delish, Mercury News, Sweet Paul, and PopSugar. Drawing from
her James Beard Award-nominated Genius Recipes column and powered by the
cooking wisdom and generosity of the Food52 community, creative director
Kristen Miglore set out to unearth the most game-changing dessert recipes from
beloved cookbook authors, chefs, and bakers—and collect them all in one
indispensable guide. This led her to iconic desserts spanning the last
century: Maida Heatter’s East 62nd Street Lemon Cake, François Payard’s
Flourless Chocolate-Walnut Cookies, and Nancy Silverton’s Butterscotch Budino.
But it also turned up little-known gems: a comforting Peach Cobbler with Hot
Sugar Crust from Renee Erickson and an imaginative Parsnip Cake with Blood
Orange Buttercream from Lucky Peach, along with genius tips, riffs, and mini-
recipes, and the lively stories behind each one. The genius of this collection
is that Kristen has scouted out and rigorously tested recipes from the most
trusted dessert experts, finding over 100 of their standouts. Each recipe
shines in a different way and teaches you something new, whether it’s how to
use unconventional ingredients (like Sunset’s whole orange cake), how to make
the most of brilliant methods (roasted sugar from Stella Parks), or how to
embrace stunning simplicity (Dorie Greenspan’s three-ingredient cookies). With
photographer James Ransom’s riveting images throughout, Genius Desserts is
destined to become every baker’s go-to reference for the very best desserts
from the smartest teachers of our time—for all the dinner parties, potlucks,
bake sales, and late-night snacks in between. Read more
