About the Author
KRISTEN MIGLORE is the creative director at Food52.com. She abandoned a career in economics in 2007 to pursue a master's degree in food studies from New York University and a culinary degree from the Institute of Culinary Education. Her writing has since been published in The Wall Street Journal, Saveur, and The Atlantic, and she was nominated for a James Beard Award for Food52's Genius Recipes column in 2014. The column led to the Genius Recipes cookbook in 2015, which won an IACP award in 2016 and became a New York Times best seller. She lives in Brooklyn and usually has a pastry in her purse.

FOOD52 is a groundbreaking online kitchen and home destination. Founded by Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs--two authors and opinionated home cooks who formerly worked for the New York Times--the company celebrates home cooks, giving them everything they need in one place. That includes smart and entertaining stories about cooking and home, over 70,000 recipes, a cooking hotline, a suite of cookbooks, a shop with everything from stunning tabletop goods to the trustiest pan, and a million-strong community of fellow talented and curious cooks.
Reviews
"For the baker looking for a sure thing with every turn of the page ..."
-- New York Times

"Food52
's creative director Miglore delivers a solid collection of proven, must-have recipes for an array of desserts. The recipes are sourced from such expert bakers as Rose Levy Beranbaum and Stella Parks, and such chefs as J. Kenji López-Alt and then tested in the Food52 kitchens. The result is a cookbook that will become a go-to for enthusiastic bakers."
--Publishers Weekly

"It functions like a treasure hunt, with lovely things casually lurking within the pages ... smart, delicious, understated and, yes, genius."
--Los Angeles Times

"When I first got this book in the mail and opened it up, the gorgeousness of it... made me pin myself to the couch for a minute and just go page by page."
--
Evan Kleiman, Good Food

"True to the name, the latest sweets-focused book in Food52's Genius Recipes series is a collection of gems."
--Departures.com

"Consider this the indispensable baking guide, filled with all the clever hacks... you've been searching for."
--Jessica Yadegaran, Mercury News

Praise for Genius Recipes

"Genius Recipes is the hands-down winner of the dog-eared page contest -- because it instantly dismisses what might be the most important question asked by a cook confronting a new recipe. Namely, will this work? Of course it will."
--Jenny Rosenstrach, New York Times

"This is my new favorite cookbook."
--Michael Ruhlman

"I haven't been so delighted by a recipe in ages, or been so rewarded for trusting an author."
--Tejal Rao, Bloomberg

"In book version, Genius Recipes reads like an epic, culinary "best of" boxed set of recipes--the kind you'd actually make."
--Jenni Avins, Quartz
