(*NEW ARRIVAL*) Elizabeth Falkner's Demolition Desserts: Recipes from Citizen Cake (Elizabeth Falkner). *Signed*

Signed by Falkner on the half-title. 

In Demolition Desserts, former San Francisco pastry chef Elizabeth presents her favorite creations, from the cookies, brownies, and cupcakes beloved by Citizen Cake regulars to the plated desserts that have made her one of the most dynamic culinary talents of her generation.

Elizabeth begins with a chapter devoted to chocolate chip cookies, building from a straight-up version to the more-is-more Chocolate Chip Mania. Provocatively titled compositions like A Chocolate Tart Named Desire, S'More A Palooza, and Gingerbread Bauhaus capture Elizabeth at the top of her art, breaking down classic desserts and reconstructing them flavor by flavor.
