Summary:
Fran Gage calls sugar, almonds, eggs, and butter "the DNA of
desserts." Simple as they seem, they make possible a profusion of
pastries and other sweets, from the elemental lollipop to the
ethereal realms where marzipan, meringue, and puff pastry hold sway.
In A Sweet Quartet, Gage tells the story of each ingredient, from its
origins to its transformation into culinary gold, drawing upon her
travels, tastings, experiments, and remembrances. She crowns each
section with a baker's half-dozen of recipes that show off the
multiple talents of the ingredient.
