Fat + Flour: The Art of a Simple Bake: A Cookbook

From her legendary pies—White Chocolate Banana Cream Pie! Stone Fruit Party Pie!—to cookies (Boozy Banana Snickerdoodles!), bars (Abuelita Milk Chocolate Brownies!), loaf cakes (Zucchini and Date Loaf Cake!), and much more, chef and author Nicole Rucker has created a treasure trove of treats. (Did we mention she includes not one, not two, but five different chocolate chip cookies, six kinds of brownies, six unique apple pies, and five distinctly different banana breads?). 

Rucker gives readers everything they need to make bakery-quality baked goods at home—but without the fuss, in part thanks to what she calls the Cold Butter Method, a low-effort technique for melding fat and flour that produces perfect cookies and the tenderest pie dough every time. Fat + Flour is a celebration of the delights that abound when these two simple ingredients come together. A cookbook guaranteed to take your baking to the next level.
