A tour of the city's best dessert-makers, complete with recipes.
The Big Apple is a city of sweets. Think about all the classic
desserts that were made famous here: cheesecake, black-and-white
cookies, the Broadway milkshake. Visitors from around the world
make pilgrimages to bastions of butter and flour such as Magnolia,
Ferrara, and City Bakery. And today there is a renaissance of young
sugar-minded artisans who are crafting exquisite confections with
fair-trade chocolate, organic gelato, and sea-salt caramel-many
coming out of Brooklyn, and selling from street trucks. Paging
through New York Sweets is like walking through a candy shop, where
the design and packaging is often as beautiful as the desserts
themselves. The book also functions as an inspired gastronomic tour
guide-one skewed toward plenty of breaks for sweets. Each chapter
walks through a different neighborhood, giving a sense of the
melting pot of flavors that can be found only in New York-from
apple strudel and baklava to turron and zabaglione. The recipes
reveal the secret techniques behind such delights as Cherry
Brownies (Baked), Crack Pie (Milk Bar), Icebox Pie (Billy's),
Macarons (Payard), and Creme Brulee Doughnuts (Doughnut Plant). As
in other realms of culture, so many trends start in New York. This
book gives the scoop on all the treats that everyone is buzzing
about.

How did white bread, once an icon of American progress, become
"white trash"? In this lively history of bakers, dietary crusaders,
and social reformers, Aaron Bobrow-Strain shows us that what we
think about the humble, puffy loaf says a lot about who we are and
what we want our society to look like.
" "
"White Bread" teaches us that when Americans debate what one should
eat, they are also wrestling with larger questions of race, class,
immigration, and gender. As Bobrow-Strain traces the story of
bread, from the first factory loaf to the latest gourmet "pain au
levain, " he shows how efforts to champion "good food" reflect
dreams of a better society--even as they reinforce stark social
hierarchies.
In the early twentieth century, the factory-baked loaf heralded a
bright new future, a world away from the hot, dusty, "dirty"
bakeries run by immigrants. Fortified with vitamins, this bread was
considered the original "superfood" and even marketed as
patriotic--while food reformers painted white bread as a symbol of
all that was wrong with America.
The history of America's one-hundred-year-long love-hate
relationship with white bread reveals a lot about contemporary
efforts to change the way we eat. Today, the alternative food
movement favors foods deemed ethical and environmentally correct to
eat, and fluffy industrial loaves are about as far from slow,
local, and organic as you can get. Still, the beliefs of early
twentieth-century food experts and diet gurus, that getting people
to eat a certain food could restore the nation's decaying physical,
moral, and social fabric, will sound surprisingly familiar. Given
that open disdain for "unhealthy" eaters and discrimination on the
basis of eating habits grow increasingly acceptable, "White Bread"
is a timely and important examination of what we talk about when we
talk about food.

after-dinner tea in 'Pride and Prejudice'; Buttered Apple Tart as

processing their emotions-in the kitchen. Organized by five
emotional states-happy, sad, mad, anxious, and hopeful-the book
includes 65 beautifully photographed recipes, each paired with an
emotion. Feeling awkward? Try some Kitchen Sink Cookies (they're
made up of a little bit of everything, but somehow turn out
great!); Having an optimistic moment? Enjoy something new like a
Cardamom Caramel Poke Cake. Struggling with a moody moment? Thick
& Chewy Maple Cookies, with their zing of sweet heat (secret
ingredient is cayenne) are the perfect salve. And when you're

felt vignettes to accompany each emotion, this one-of-a-kind
