The James Beard Awardwinning founder of Milk Bar and host of Bake Squad shares her personal stories and wisdom for igniting passion, following your joy, and creating a satisfying life. Dessert connects us heart-to-heart like almost nothing else. It brings us together in good times and bad, celebration and solace. It marks big and small milestones and creates memories of comfort and joy. And Christina Tosi, the founder and CEO of Milk Bar, believes it can save the world. Does the combination of sugar, flour, and butter have some magical ability to fix all the craziness of our modern existence? Of course not. Tosi knows a cookie is just a cookiebut bringing the joy a cookie holds into every area of your life most definitely can. The spirit of dessertthe relentless, unflinching commitment to finding or creating joy even when joy feels hard to come byis what can save us. And then we, in turn, can each save the world. Tosi shares the wisdom she learned growing up surrounded by strong women who showed her bakings ability to harness love and create connection, as well as personal stories about succeeding in the highly competitive food world by unapologetically being her true self. Studded with personal and unorthodox recipes, Dessert Can Save the World reveals the secret ingredients for transforming our outlooks, our relationships, our work, and our entire collective existence into something boldly optimistic and stubbornly joyful.

Overall a fun read! A lot of Tosi‘s ideas around food, joy, and the unique pleasures and powers of dessert resonate with me - as I suppose might be true for anyone who would choose to read a book with this title! 😁 I wasn‘t as into some of the self-help/business-y parts but loved the memoir elements and bits of Milk Bar history, and especially the theme of how dessert often connects us to the women who raised us.
