Cake From Lucie: Recipes and Techniques from the French Countryside to New York City: A Baking Book by Lucie Franc de Ferriere

Inventive, French-inspired dessert recipes from the founder of the beloved New York City bakery, From Lucie. “I dare you to page through Lucie’s book and not feel a flutter of joy. These are desserts to make you dream.”—Dorie Greenspan, James Beard Award–winning author of Dorie’s Anytime Cakes Lucie Franc de Ferriere is the owner and head baker at From Lucie, a small bakery in the East Village known for its whimsical baked goods adorned with fresh flowers. Born and raised in Southern France, Lucie grew up baking cakes with her mother at the family's farm and bed-and-breakfast in their 165-year-old chateau, and after moving to New York City, she became homesick and turned to baking for a taste of home. Eventually, Lucie’s 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 Cake From Lucie, Lucie invites home bakers to join her in creating gorgeously imperfect treats in her signature style, from easy everyday recipes to more intricate showstoppers. Lucie’s creations are less sweet than American-style baked goods, allowing her subtle and unique flavor combinations to shine. Indulge in a moist Zucchini Honey Mascarpone Cake Read more
