Reviews for BraveTart: Iconic American Desserts

"""This is not everyday baking – nor does it celebrate an everyday occasion – but the whisking of egg whites to make the marshmallow icing (inspiration for which I thank the ever-illuminating, ever-inspiring American baker-sleuth Stella Parks, author of the compendious BraveTart)..."" -- Nigella Lawson - Observer Food Monthly ""Fans of American desserts need look no further than this book."" -- Choice"
