“All hail Alice Medrich! She’s slaved over a double boiler, tart pan and electric mixer so we don’t have to. From Apple Brown Betty Redux to Bittersweet Cocoa Soufflés, she’s simplified the tools and techniques, and distilled the ingredients without ever sacrificing the result.
Alice has re-invented the classics for a new age and added flavor in the bargain! Imagine Fresh Ginger Gingerbread & Tahitian Vanilla Tart with Winter Cherry Compote. The aroma practically wafts off the page. Want a Linzer Torte but don’t have time to make lattice topping? Alice’s change makes the world’s oldest-known recipe new again.”—Beth Goehring, Editor-in-Chief
P.S.
“She even gives up the secrets to her world-famous truffles (skip rolling the truffles in cocoa…there’s an easier way).”
