Baking the French Way with "Gâteau" Author Aleksandra Crapanzano

Date: 2022-12-15

It’s that time of year: gift giving, baking, holiday planning. Which means it couldn’t hurt to draw your attention to France for some inspiration. This will be a two-part episode all about sweets featuring two authors whose books you absolutely should be picking up for yourself or offering as gifts. To start, I’m joined today by Aleksandra Crapanzano  a James Beard–winning writer and longtime dessert columnist for The Wall Street Journal and most recently the author of "Gâteau, The Surprising Simplicity of French Cakes". The book includes more than 100 recipes of classic and regional cakes fit for the home baker. Our discussion tackles her enduring connection to France, the baked goods she tried in Paris most recently, and why there’s no reason to feel intimidated when baking the French way.
