New-School Sweets – Cookbook Giveaway

Enter our US (3 copies) and worldwide (1 copy) giveaway for New-School Sweets: Old-School Pastries with an Insanely Delicious Twist by Vinesh Johny and Andrés Lara.

Vinesh Johny and Andrés Lara‘s (check out their impressive author bios) new cookbook New-School Sweets: Old-School Pastries with an Insanely Delicious Twist is a refreshing standout in this year’s batch of baking cookbooks. Antonio Bachour, described by Zagat’s as a confection master and previously named one of the top ten pastry chefs in the US, describes the book as a “tribute to passion”. He continues, “Vinesh and Andrés have my admiration and respect for inspiring the next generation of pastry chefs across the world with this work…”.

The majority of the recipes here will require some time commitment but the reward far outweighs the labor involved. Some desserts will be familiar and not as daunting as others. A few examples of those would be the Pecan butter tart, Old-school alfajores or a Jaggery blondie and even those are truly impressive.

Then there are next level to the extreme (and I mean extreme in a very good way) such as the Pineapple inside-out cake, Crunchy potato chip tart or the Childhood banana coconut cake with three sub recipes in addition to the base recipe. I wish my childhood banana cake was that amazing.

We all love a book where we can whip out a treat in no time flat but I love a book that delivers excitement, global flavors and outstanding results and New-School Sweets is such a book.

    Hi Jenny,
    This was such a sharp, persuasive review of New-School Treats! I bet nobody out there will sell this book as perfectly as you did. I can’t wait to add it to my dessert book collection.

    And you sold me on that Childhood Banana Coconut Cake. I KNOW I never had a cake as good as this growing up and so I am going to jump right in and make up for lost childhood cake by baking this first!

    Cheers,
    Anne
