For a limited time we have copies signed by Natasha Pickowicz.
Boldly, adventurously flavorful, Natasha Pickowicz’s baked goods are imaginatively presented in carefully written recipes which offer bakers a wealth of ideas and components they can use to liven up their baking.
A James Beard Award-winning pastry chef, Pickowicz draws on many sources of inspiration, from her California childhood and Chinese heritage to the cosmopolitan cross-pollination that living and working in New York can bring.
Although the presentation style of the book does not focus on restaurant-style plated desserts, it’s a gold mine for flavor ideas for any pastry cook looking for imaginative energy.
