Description

This title features desserts such as an early fall cobbler with blackberries bubbling in their juice beneath a golden cream biscuit; a crunchy oatmeal crisp made with mid-summer's sweet nectarines and raspberries; and, a comforting pear bread pudding made with brioche to soften a harsh winter's day. In "Rustic Fruit Desserts", James Beard Award-winning chef Cory Schreiber and Julie Richardson, owner of Baker and Spice, share their repertoire of classic fruit desserts, including crumbles, crisps, Betty's, buckles, and pies that showcases the freshest in-season fruit available. Simple, scrumptious, and always a cherished favourite, these heritage desserts are (thankfully) experiencing a long-due revival.

Reviews

"It is fate, really. Simply team up two Portland, Oregon, fruit experts--an award-winning chef turned farm-to-school food coordinator, and a baker known for her glorious handcrafted goods--and a must-have new little cookbook appears: Rustic Fruit Desserts by Cory Schreiber and Julie Richardson. . . . . This cookbook, a true collaboration, is a reflection of the passion they share for Oregon's amazing variety of seasonal fruits and the respect they have for the small growers who farm in a sustainable way. . . . The genius of this work lies in Schreiber's playful fruit combinations and Richardson's mastery of doughs and spices to complement them."

Rustic Fruit Desserts embodies the modern wisdom about how to cook delicious food: make it fresh, local, and seasonal. As someone whos always loved desserts with fruit and, who, like Julie, has New England roots, I also applaud the books mouthwatering taxonomy, which distinguishes between grunts, slumps, buckles, crisps, cobblers, and pandowdies.
