Pastry Chef Johnny Iuzzini, RedefInes Dessert
 In Dessert
FourPlay, Iuzzini’s first cookbook, he shares his secrets and inspirations
with the home cook. His delicious creations can be served individually
or as part of his signature fourplay pairings: four mini desserts in
a quartet of complementary flavors and textures. Iuzzini pairs cool
with hot, crispy with creamy, sweet with spicy, and the expected—chocolate,
strawberries, and cinnamon—with the unexpected—chiles, beets, and cocoa
puffs. The result: desserts that refresh, inspire, and satisfy beyond
expectations. Dessert FourPlay invigorates all the senses and inspires
home cooks to create innovative desserts of their own. “In this long-awaited book, Johnny shares the thinking, the cutting-edge techniques, and the flexible recipes that make his approach to the end of the meal so fresh and engaging.” — Harold McGee, author of On Food and Cooking “Dessert FourPlay is as exciting as it is appealing, instructive, and generous. Each dessert is a tour de force of imagination and I’m crazy about the section called Building Blocks, which has dozens of simple recipes for ice cream, cookies, cakes, and sauces to mix and match.” — Dorie Greenspan, author of Baking from My Home to Yours “Johnny Iuzzini is one of the most talented pastry chefs in America. He is experimental and creative, but his originality and wit are carefully balanced by his classic training, as evidenced in Dessert FourPlay.” — Daniel Boulud, chef/restaurateur |
