Publisher's Synopsis
In Christina Tosi's time at the helm of Milk Bar, she's learned a lot-like how to make cakes in a crockpot, know when a banana is perfectly ripe for baking, or infuse cereal flavour into just about anything. She's shared those lessons and more in her ultra-successful cookbooks. Now, she's ready to share a different set of lessons. In Dessert Can Save the World, Tosi shares the life lessons she's learned from family, friends, mentors, and even the desserts themselves. Lessons like "just bake the cake," meaning you should always take every reason you can to celebrate-even through failure. Or "go sew," a mantra of encouragement from Tosi's grandmother that encourages you to do something to keep moving forward when life stops you dead in your tracks. As Tosi recounts this wisdom and more, she shares a few fun and delicious recipes relevant to the story at hand, like her "Can't Mess It Up Bread" recipe, which was hard won after a miserable first day at a new job. Anyone-baker or not-can apply these lessons to ignite their passion and create a fulfilling life.
