"65 deliciously inventive recipes for French-inspired cakes, cookies, bars, and other tempting pastries from the charming New York City bakery From Lucie Lucie Franc de Ferriere is the owner and head baker at From Lucie, a small bakery tucked away in the East Village that is known for its whimsical French pastries made with unexpected but delightful pairings of seasonal flavors and adorned with gorgeous fresh flowers. Born and raised in Southern France, Lucie grew up baking cakes alongside her mother at the bed-and-breakfast the family operated from their 150-year-old chateau in Bordeaux. After moving to New York City, she became homesick and turned to baking for a taste of home, experimenting with flavor profiles and floral decorations. Eventually, Lucies 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 Untitled, Lucie opens the cheerful yellow doors of her little bakery, inviting home bakers to join her in creating her signature cakes that range from simple to fancy along with cookies, bars, pastries, and their accompanying frostings, fillings, and fruit curds. Lucies creations are a less sweet than American-style bakes, allowing her subtle and unique flavor combinations to shine. Indulge in an incredibly moist Zucchini Honey Cake with Mascarpone Buttercream and Caramelized Honey that highlights the flavors of summer, or a Chamomile Cake with Whipped Cream and Strawberry Sumac Jam that melds citrusy and herbal notes in beautiful layers. Or dive into an aromatic and irresistibly creamy Lavender Rice Pudding and a perfectly balanced Tahini, Black Sesame, and Earl Grey Marble Loaf that reflect Lucies cherished childhood memories.

With transportive photography from Lucies family chateau in France and personal stories woven throughout, Untitled captures the romance of the French countryside and the buzz of New York City while relaying Lucies secrets for effortlessly beautiful and memorable treats"-- Provided by publisher.
