Perfect for you if...

You want desserts that look restaurant-quality but don't require professional training or obscure ingredients.
You appreciate a recipe writer who troubleshoots common mistakes and tells you why things work, not just what to do.
You like seasonal, flavour-forward baking that ranges from simple cookies to show-stopping tarts.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for low-sugar, keto, or allergen-free baking. This collection is unapologetically traditional.
You prefer cookbooks with minimal text. Lebovitz's personality and guidance are central to these recipes.
You only bake once or twice a year and want foolproof five-minute desserts. These require actual technique.

About this book

A revised edition of David Lebovitz's collection of dessert recipes, featuring new photography and more than 170 recipes for pastries, cakes, cookies, and other sweets. Lebovitz, a professional cook and baker, presents nearly 175 recipes including cakes, pies, tarts, crisps, cobblers, cookies, candies, ice creams, pastries, custards, soufflés, puddings, dessert sauces, fruit preserves, and homemade liqueurs. His desserts emphasize fresh, pure flavors and seasonal ingredients, ranging from simple to elaborate and classic to edgy. Examples include Nectarine-Raspberry Upside-Down Gingerbread Cake, Apple-Quince Tarte Tatin, Lemon-Ginger Crème Brûlée, Buckwheat Chocolate Chip Cookies, Butterscotch-Pecan Ice Cream, Maple Tartlets, and Salted Butter Caramel Sauce. The revised edition includes several new recipes and photography shot on location in Paris by food photographer Ed Anderson. Each recipe includes friendly guidance, serving suggestions, storage advice, flavor variations, and tips for bakers of all skill levels.
