If you've ever gone off book while following a baking recipe, you know the results can be disastrous. The chemistry of baking doesn't lend itself as naturally to experimentation as cooking does — so how do the professionals do it? To answer that question we turned to Jenny McCoy, an awarding-winning pastry chef, baking instructor, and the author of Jenny McCoy's Desserts for Every Season, who shared her advice for becoming a better, more intuitive baker."
Food Republic says:
"We're loving award-winning cookbook author Jenny McCoy's new dessert cookbook, Desserts For Every Season, which highlights the sweeter sides of seasonal fruit. When a famed pastry chef develops recipes for some of the nation's top restaurants, we're going to need her cookbook. If you've already been struck with a cranberry craving, consider this simple strudel."
