The author of BraveTart comes to the Wharf in DC on Sat., Dec. 9th, at 3PM.
Stella Parks, award-winning pastry chef and writer for Serious Eats, visits the Harper Macaw Chocolate Boutique at The Wharf to share BraveTart: Iconic American Desserts.
Her new cookbook contains 100-plus recipes for your favorite sweet treats, from Devil’s Food Layer Cake to a classic Cherry Pie. Parks will guide you in recreating beloved brands like Fig Newtons, Animal Crackers, and Fudge Strips and in remixing recipes so you can enjoy gluten-free and vegan variations. Moreover, BraveTart dives into the history of the desserts: the hidden meaning of the word “oreo,” the weirdly vindictive origin of graham crackers, and the marketing-driven machinations that led to key lime pie. With BraveTart, Parks provides a must-read for anyone who loves childhood desserts.
