The impossible has just been made possible: experienced baker Monique Polanco finally shows home bakers how to make show-stopping desserts for special occasions that come together miraculously easily and don’t require a ton of ingredients. Her decadent recipes are secretly simple thanks to the myriad of tips and tools Monique has for saving time and accommodating tastes. Everything from Eggnog Rum Cake to Apple Tarts and Orange Bourbon Pecan Pies are laid out in this beautiful and informative cookbook.Monique’s expertise comes from generations of Southern family cooking. Baking is in her genes: her great-grandmother was a pastry chef, her grandfather worked in a bakery, and her mom and Monique often baked together for family functions. Now she shares how to make her favorites from childhood, including holiday must-haves like pound cake, sweet potato pie and peach cobbler and all-season delights like Mango Passion Fruit Lime Meringue Pie and Olive Oil Stone Fruit Cake. And don’t be deterred by the long names: Monique has made everything accessible to beginner bakers, and especially for those short on time. Sections on last minute treats and make-ahead desserts are bound to save the day on big holiday menus. Regardless of whether you’re cooking two days before a big event or the morning of, there are tons of recipes your family will love.
