Food52 Genius Desserts: 100 Recipes That Will Change the Way You Bake

The original Food52 Genius Recipes is a delight to use, a collection of inspired recipes that offer some kind of clarification or simplification of a traditional cooking method or recipe which you can readily adapt to other things you make. So imagine the pleasures of Food52 Genius Desserts!

Editor Kristen Miglore has gathered material from legendary bakers, intrepid bloggers, professional pastry cooks, and others who have followed an insight into exciting new baking territory. Some are means of treating everyday ingredients so that they deliver extra flavor power; others turn established techniques on their head, and still others do something so simple that you might not really think it qualifies as a recipe, even if it makes an astounding dessert.

Here you’ll find ideas from Madhur Jaffrey, Pierre Hermé, Maida Heatter, Marcella Hazan, Nick Malgieri, Claudia Fleming, Stella Parks, Brooks Headley, Lindsay Shere, Jim Dodge, and so many other remarkable contributors. The vegan chocolate chip cookies will become your instant go-to, regardless of whether you are vegan yourself. And the only thing that will stop you from making them again and again is the enticing array of other choices here.

Slam dunk.
