Golden Kamut shortbread
-
Lottie and Doof
Alice said it "adds a fragrant buttery flavor and lovely yellow color to baked goods"....enough to get me searching for this difficult-to-find relative of wheat. I tracked it down...so glad I did.

Lebni tart
-
Lottie and Doof
This tart is light and refreshing and would be the perfect ending to a meal. It has all of the tart creaminess of a cheesecake without the heaviness.

Publishers Text
Alice Medrich reshapes the universe of sweets by focusing on fewer but finer ingredients and using them in fresh ways.
Always an experimenter, tinkerer, and thinker, the renowned baker and three-time Cookbook of the Year winner Alice Medrich expands the dessert-making vocabulary in Pure Dessert. Using an exciting array of delicate handmade cheeses, wholesome grains, and other ingredients (often ethnic) that are now widely available, she broadens our flavor palate even as she simplifies and demystifies baking techniques.
Grains such as buckwheat bring a lovely nutty quality to cookies and strawberry shortcake. Pound cake takes on a whole new identity with a touch of olive oil and sherry. Chestnut flour and walnuts virtually transform meringue. Varietal honeys and raw sugars infuse ice creams and sherbets with delectable new flavor.
The desserts that Medrich has devised are not only better-tasting and unusual, but - because they're not heavily sauced or sugared - they're more healthful as well. With eye-catching, full-color photographs that show how easy it is to make these 150 simple, straightforward recipes, Pure Dessert is a revelation.
