James Beard Outstanding Pastry Chef finalist and Food & Wine Best New Chef Caroline Schiff believes a sweet treat is the perfect daily ritual--something small and simple, or occasionally a showstopper to celebrate big moments. Daily Dessert i s her joyful, highly versatile collection of recipes designed to sweeten life in just the right dose. Sometimes that means one perfect cookie warm from the oven, a snacking cake to last all week, a no-bake refresher on a scorching day, or a cozy pudding for a winter night. Organized by mood and moment, chapters move from Simple Little Sweets (quick, small-batch recipes) to Weekly Snacking Bakes, Sunny Day Sweets, Cozy Day Confections, Dessert for Breakfast, No-Bake Treats, and Celebration Sweets--plus a Basics section with Schiff's essential doughs, sauces, and toppings. Recipes are approachable yet irresistible, the kind of things fans already love from Schiff: Hot Butterscotch Pecan Blondies, Upside-Down Clementine Olive Oil Snacking Cake, Raspberry Crème Fraîche Galette, Espresso Crunch Coffee Cake, Gingersnap and Orange Cream Sandwiches, No-Churn Toasted Cinnamon Ice Cream, and her iconic Baked Alaska for a Crowd. Daily Dessert is an invitation to embrace the joy of sweets as part of everyday life. With Schiff's playful voice, professional know-how, and unfussy recipes, this book is for everyone--novice bakers, seasoned pros, and anyone who simply believes dessert makes life better.
