Book excerpt: The first cookbook from Philadelphia’s phenomenal Brown Betty Dessert Boutique is “a wonderful reminder that baking is a family affair” (Publishers Weekly). When three generations of African-American women decided to open a bakery in Philadelphia, they had no idea how quickly the accolades would come. With high praise from Rachael Ray magazine and other corners of the culinary world, the Brown Betty Dessert Boutique has found fame with their amazing pound cakes, cheesecakes, pies, and cookies, among other delectable treats. This delicious cookbook features both the secret recipes that Brown Betty’s fans can’t wait to get their hands on, as well as the personal stories that explain the evocative names of such recipes as Alice’s Two Step and Strawberry Letter. Features recipes that combine old-fashioned treats with thrilling contemporary flavors like sweet potato pound cake and dark cherry cheesecake Includes gorgeous and mouthwatering full-color photography throughout For home bakers who want to experience the best of Brown Betty in their own homes or dessert-lovers looking for something new, The Brown Betty Cookbook offers both inspiration and delectation. “In a world overridden with cake balls and elaborately decorated cupcakes and cookies, it’s refreshing to find a cookbook that celebrates vintage recipes and classic baking methods. You should welcome it to your collection.” —A Well-Seasoned Life
