I really love baking, so when I asked
my son about dessert choices, I was hoping to make a pie or cupcakes or cookies.
Between the covers, there are 105 recipes (85 percent that have never been seen on this site),
about two - thirds of them are savory (including a beloved recipe for featherlight Gnocchi in Tomato Broth, a Flat Roasted Chicken with Tiny Potatoes inspired by something we bought on a Paris street, and an absolutely hideous but boundlessly delicious Wild Rice Gratin with Kale and Caramelized Onions) and the rest are for sweets things (such as my
son's towering second birthday S'More Cake, and what I consider two of the ultimate Thanksgiving
desserts, a Cheesecake - Marbled Pumpkin Gingersnap Tart and the Deepest Dish Apple Pie you've ever seen).
