Synopsis

The James Beard Award–winning 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 cookie—but bringing the joy a cookie holds into every area of your life most definitely can. The spirit of dessert—the relentless, unflinching commitment to finding or creating joy even when joy feels hard to come by—is 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 baking’s 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.

Goodreads review by Tracy on September 19, 2022

Dessert is a celebration, and “Dessert Can Save the World” is a gentle reminder that we need to celebrate - and celebrate EVERYTHING, from the really big things like birthdays and holidays to the less big like good haircuts and the first day of June, to the really sucky times.

Goodreads review by Stewart on March 05, 2022

Fair warning: I won a free ARC of this book in a Goodreads giveaway. I went into this knowing nothing other than the title and the fact that it was a cooking memoir. The name Milk Bar sounded vaguely familiar, but that was about it. The book was absolutely delightful. It's almost more of a Self Help......more

Goodreads review by Emily on December 27, 2021

I think that the highest compliment I can give this delightful book is that, as I was nearing the end of it, I was already making plans to hop on Amazon & purchase two hardcover copies for myself & for my mother-in-law, who 1) loves food, 2) owns her own porta-potty business & 3) is a self-proclaime......more

Goodreads review by Laura on June 07, 2022

This was a sweet (pun intended) self-help book told through the lens of dessert. I love dessert (who doesn't?) so it worked for me for the most part. I probably would have preferred a memoir type book though because Christina Tosi has a fascinating life. This book was extremely upbeat and positive.......more
