From One-Bowl Satan’s Meals Layer Cake to a flawless Cherry Pie that’s crisp even on the very backside, BraveTart is a celebration of traditional American desserts. Whether or not down-home delights like Blueberry Muffins and Shiny Fudge Brownies or grocery store mainstays resembling Vanilla Wafers and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream, your favorites are all right here. These meticulously examined recipes carry an award-winning pastry chef’s experience into your kitchen, together with recommendation on how you can “combine it up” with over 200 customizable variations—briefly, precisely what you’d anticipate from a cookbook penned by a senior editor at Severe Eats. But BraveTart is rather more than a cookbook, as Stella Parks delves into the stunning tales of how our favourite desserts got here to be, from chocolate chip cookies that predate the Tollhouse Inn to the prohibition-era origins of ice cream sodas and floats. With a foreword by The Meals Lab’s J. Kenji López-Alt, classic ads for these historic desserts, and breathtaking images from Penny De Los Santos, BraveTart is bound to develop into an American traditional.
