Description: Intense in flavor. Playful in spirit. Minimalist in form. The tarts from New York's widely acclaimed City Bakery are redefining the art of pastry making. Maury Rubin, the owner of The City Bakery and America's most innovative pastry chef, shares the secrets of his success in taking traditional French pastry making and infusing it with a modern sense of design and fun. Book of Tarts showcases forty of Maury Rubin's most singular creations.
With uncomplicated instructions and contagious enthusiasm, Book of Tarts takes pastry makers from cool and fruity spring and summer tarts like Champagne Peach Tart with Vanilla Sugar, Musk Melon in a Geometric State of Mind, and World's First Stuffed Raspberry Tart to festive and scrumptious tarts for fall and winter like Orange Tart Made out of Apples and White Chocolate Infused with Pear Skins. Rubin's Book of Tarts will draw bakers eagerly into their kitchens to learn these superb recipes of surprising ease; each tart a triumph of taste and design.
Book of Tarts is both playful and serious, and encourages everyone's unique creative impulses, a rare combination for any cookbook. It combines fun ideas -- such as Square Pear Peg Tart, Milky Way Tart, and a Bunch of Nuts in a Tart -- with dazzling photographs and clear instructions. A chapter of Master Recipes prefaces the catalog of tarts, and explains the humble provenance of the finest desserts: the perfect tart dough for the perfect tart crust for the following forty perfectly simple delights.
Book of Tarts is filled with delectable pastries, each of which sparkles with Maury Rubin's whimsical imagination and with the delights that come when form, function, and flavor meet.
