Item Description

Created by the award-winning pastry chef at New York City's renowned Chanterelle restaurant, this signed dessert cookbook offers delightful recipes for a plethora of sweet treats -- from tarts and cakes to custards, souffles, and frozen desserts.

Kate Zuckerman was the pastry chef for New York’s Chanterelle Restaurant from 1999 until 2008. She says she believes in simple, pure, and complementary flavors, and taking full advantage of the seasons.

Says Kate: “My desserts are derived from my experiences with food throughout my life. What may seem like a complicated, plated dessert is often a dressed-up version of a simple pleasure from my past. I cannot forget the rice pudding I had in India; I love to stroll through orchards at the peak of fall and pick and crunch down on a Macoun apple; I cannot get the scent of a ripening guava out of my head; I must watch and smell a golden quince as it cooks and transforms itself into an aromatic compote with a lustrous rose color. These sensual and gastronomic experiences drive my conception of a tart, cake or crème.”

Kate was named one of the Ten Best Pastry Chefs in America by Pastry Art & Design and Chocolatier magazines in 2005.
