The sumptuous debut cookbook from celebrated baker, activist, and pastry it girl. Natasha Pickowicz Named a Best New Cookbook of Spring 2023 by Food Wine, Eater, and more Natasha Pickowicz is a creative force in the world of baking. Her pastries are uniquely delicious and surprising. She's picked up three James Beard Award nominations for her time as a professional pastry chef. Her buzzy bake sales for Planned Parenthood and other nonprofits have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now she shares her recipes and baking know-how in a debut cookbook brimming with the energy, passion, joy, knowledge, and spirit of generosity that define her work. The recipes are fresh and uncomplicated, drawing on the author's Chinese and Californian heritage. She pairs nectarine and miso in a tarte tatin and makes a layer cake with olive oil, mascarpone, and fennel. Black cardamom gets tucked into pecan sticky buns, and galettes go savory with kabocha squash. And she's a born teacher. Of course pastry requires a real focus on detail and technique, but the author is here at every step with invaluable tips- underbeat meringue, boil your plum stones to extract even more plum flavor, look for first-press yuzu juice for the flakiest pie dough, first freeze your butter, then use a grater to get perfect shreds.

More Than Cake

I was disappointed once I received this book. When I noticed the author on a morning show it sounded like the book would be a bake sale type book. At least that is what it was suggested. I found that there was less than 5 recipes I would try. In addition I found the photography to be mediocre. This is the first time I have reviewed a book but thought it was important due to the cost of the book.

It’s Ok

Not for me. Honestly, there’s not more than one or two usable recipes. A lot of the recipes use unusual ingredients that I wouldn’t normally have on hand. I would return it if I could.
