Pure Dessert

I take a new tact here. This book is ingredient driven, with ever-simpler recipes for the sophisticated palate and geared to the home cook. Chapters are organized by ingredient (Milk and Butter, Flours and Grains, Nuts and Seeds, Chocolate, Herbs and Spices, Fruit, Wines and Spirits…) rather than type of dessert. Pure was always a quiet, simple book in my mind. I never expected any awards, so I was thrilled to be a James Beard and IACP finalist.
