Synopsis

The first cookbook from Philadelphia's phenomenal Brown Betty Dessert Boutique

When three generations of African-American women decided to open a bakery in Philadelphia, they had no idea how quickly the accolades would come. With high praise from Rachael Ray magazine and other corners of the culinary world, the Brown Betty Dessert Boutique has found fame with their amazing poundcakes, cheesecakes, pies, and cookies, among other delectable treats.

This delicious cookbook features both the secret recipes that Brown Betty's fans can't wait to get their hands on, as well as the personal stories that explain the evocative names of such recipes as Alice's Two Step and Strawberry Letter.

• Features recipes that combine old-fashioned treats with thrilling contemporary flavors like sweet potato poundcake and dark cherry cheesecake
• Includes gorgeous and mouthwatering full-color photography throughout

For home bakers who want to experience the best of Brown Betty in their own homes or dessert-lovers looking for something new, The Brown Betty Cookbook offers both inspiration and delectation.

ClassiC MEETS Contemporary

Growing up in Elizabeth "Betty" Hinton's kitchen, we relished her entertaining family stories while nurturing the most important and steadfast family tradition: Betty's Sunday supper collection of rich, velvety mile-high pound cakes, luscious pies (always baked two at time because one was never enough), buttery biscuits, and irresistible cookies. Each of our cakes is named after vibrant women in our family who inspired us, taught us, and laid the foundation for our sweet success. And now we're passing the stories and the recipes on to you. The Brown Betty Cookbook, like our baking, is a journey through family history that offers scrumptious surprises along the way. We hope you will enjoy baking with these recipes as much as we do. With Love, Linda and Norrinda
