Nancy Silverton gained fame as the original pastry chef at Wolfgang Puck's restaurant Spago. But it was a single bite of a peanut butter cookie that truly changed her outlook. She realized that all of her baking should strive to be as delicious as that one cookie. This led her to go back to her roots and perfect traditional American sweets. From classic recipes like Lattice-Topped Apple Pie and Key Lime Pie to her own creations like Double-Decker Chocolate Cookies and Chocolate Brandy Cake, Silverton shares her passion for baking in 512 pages.
