The sumptuous debut cookbook from celebrated baker, activist, and
pastry "it girl" Natasha Pickowicz 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 savoury 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 flavour;
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 means baking to bring people together. It calls on
you to prioritize pleasure. As the author writes, "Dessert is
beyond simple calories and nutrition. . . . It spreads delight in a
way that no other kind of dish can. This is something I think
people really need-it's not optional." It's a philosophy to live
by.
