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.
