“Book Descriptions: Have you ever marveled at a flawless slice of cherry pie in a television bake-off and wondered if you could re-create it at home? You can. With BraveTart, you’ll find everything from a one-bowl Devil’s Food Layer Cake to Blueberry Muffins and Glossy Fudge Brownies, even Stella’s own recipes for recreating popular supermarket treats! These meticulously tested, crystal-clear, and innovative recipes (including an effortless, no-fuss twist on Angel’s Food Cake) bring a pastry chef’s expertise to your kitchen.
Along the way, BraveTart tells the surprising story of how our favorite desserts came to be. Did you know that chocolate chip cookies predate the Tollhouse Inn or that Heath English Toffee is a decidedly Midwestern creation? With a foreword by The Food Lab’s J. Kenji López-Alt, vintage illustrations of historical desserts, and breathtaking photographs, BraveTart is sure to become an American classic.” DRIVE
