Cake From Lucie: Recipes and Techniques from the French Countryside to New York City: A Baking Book (Spiral bound)

Inventive, French-inspired dessert recipes from the founder of the beloved New York City bakery, From Lucie.“I dare you to page through Lucie’s book and not feel a flutter of joy. These are desserts to make you dream.”—Dorie Greenspan, James Beard Award–winning author of Dorie’s Anytime CakesLucie Franc de Ferriere is the owner and head baker at From Lucie, a small bakery in the East Village known for its whimsical baked goods adorned with fresh flowers. Born and raised in Southern France, Lucie grew up baking cakes with her mother at the family's farm and bed-and-breakfast in their 165-year-old chateau, and after moving to New York City, she became homesick and turned to baking for a taste of home. Eventually, Lucie’s baked goods became so popular at café pop-ups that she decided to take a leap of faith and open her own bakery.Now in Cake From Lucie, Lucie invites home bakers to join her in creating gorgeously imperfect treats in her signature style, from easy everyday recipes to more intricate showstoppers. Lucie’s creations are less sweet than American-style baked goods, allowing her subtle and unique flavor combinations to shine. Indulge in a moist Zucchini Honey Mascarpone Cake that highlights the tastes of summer, or a layered Chamomile Cake with Whipped Cream and Strawberry Sumac Jam that beautifully melds citrus and herbal notes. For an effortless bake, try Lucie’s Blueberry Fennel Loaf, or if you’re feeling more adventurous, turn to her Blood Orange Olive Oil Princess Cake. Her popular Salted Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies are the ultimate afternoon treat, and a Tiramisu Charlotte will wow at your next dinner party.With transportive photography from Lucie’s farm and personal stories woven throughout, Cake From Lucie captures the charm of the French countryside and the buzz of New York City while relaying the secrets for Lucie’s beautiful and memorable desserts.
