Publisher Description
A cookbook of treats from the Great Plains to satisfy every sweet tooth.
Based in Lincoln, Nebraska, Goldenrod Pastries is a community bakery with an ambitious and talented baker at the helm. Angela Garbacz learned at her mother’s and grandmothers’ elbows, mixing up cookies and rolling sweet buns. Her training continued in New York City before she returned home and opened her dream shop.
From her grandma’s famous peach coffee cake to caramel-covered pecan rolls, lemon meringue pie and frosted brownies to fluffernutter buns and confetti cookies, Garbacz’s pastries come out of the oven perfectly golden and regularly sell out. At her bakery, she creates delicious treats without dairy or gluten, but every recipe in this book can be made with butter and all-purpose flour just as easily as any alternative. With her positive attitude and confident voice, Garbacz makes it easy and fun to bake a perfect dessert that everyone can eat. This beautiful cookbook—the photography, the philosophy, and the desserts!—is an instant classic.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this delightful debut, Garbacz, who owns Goldenrod Pastries in Lincoln, Neb., shares recipes for 100 healthy pastry shop favorites. Garbacz creates delicious-yet-healthy desserts with flexible, easy-to-make recipes using gluten-free flour blends, dairy-free milks, and other readily available ingredients that can easily be swapped out to accommodate bakers' dietary needs and tastes. With the "You Do You" key for each recipe, bakers can choose gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, or traditional versions of dishes; for example, yeasted dough made with almond milk and gluten-free flour is perfect for cinnamon rolls, sticky pecan buns, her grandmother's peach coffee cake, and Fluffernutter buns. Snack cakes intended for breakfast or tea include Goldenrod's zucchini-chocolate cake, and for dessert there's an almond-walnut crusted cheesecake and multiple squares consisting of apple, lemon, apricot, or chocolate ganache. Birthday cakes, pies, creams, and sauces round out the collection. Health-minded home bakers will delight in this friendly, accessible volume.
