Book Description

October 2, 2012
Fun, craveable desserts—from even-better-than-you-remember-them homemade Pop Tarts and Oreos to brilliant original treats—are the hallmark of pastry chef Hedy Goldsmith. Celebrated in the New York Times and on Food Network for the clever and delicious dishes she creates, Hedy has a sense of humor that comes out in her sweets. Baking Out Loud includes her most sought-after recipes and many more desserts that will inspire home bakers.

Hedy grew up on the kind of supermarket treats that are familiar to Americans—Cracker Jacks, Nutter Butters, coffee cakes from Entenmann’s bakery—as well as concoctions from her Easy-Bake Oven. In Baking Out Loud, she not only details how she transformed her childhood favorites into grown-up versions that are irresistible to kids and adults alike but also shares recipes that boast her signature in-your-face flavors. Twinkies were the inspiration for her Red Velvet Twinks, which combine rich chocolate cake and cream cheese filling that has a touch of tang from the addition of goat cheese. Her Chocolate Caramel Peanut Bars are the most indulgent version of a Snickers bar imaginable. And Hedy finally gives the recipe for her famous Junk in Da Trunk cookies (aka Chocolate Chunk Cookies) and Banana Toffee Panini.

From cookies and bars to pies, cakes, tarts, custards, and all sorts of ice creams, Baking Out Loud is a whimsical collection of eighty inventive recipes that any home baker is going to love to make.

More About the Author

When speaking about can't miss desserts, no other name in the region elicits a more passionate response than that of Hedy Goldsmith. Recently awarded a James Beard nomination (Outstanding Pastry Chef 2012), the Executive Pastry Chef of The Genuine Hospitality Group of restaurants (Michael's Genuine Food & Drink in Miami and Grand Cayman, Harry's Pizzeria in Miami) remains one of the most respected professionals in the country.

With the October 2, 2012 release of her debut cookbook, BAKING OUT LOUD: Fun Desserts with Big Flavors (Clarkson Potter), Goldsmith is busier than ever. Now in her 3rd season of Cooking Channel's Unique Sweets, she has appeared on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Iron Chef America and Food(ography). Hedy and her recipes have been featured in People, The Wall Street Journal, Food & Wine, The New York Times, Bon Appétit, The New York Post, Wine Spectator, Huffington Post and MSNBC. Hedy is a regular contributor on foodnetwork.com and her seasonal recipes can be found on cooking channel.com

Since James Beard Award wining chef Michael Schwartz opened his flagship Michael's Genuine Food & Drink in 1997, part of the restaurant's success has been the talent of Goldsmith's perfectly sweet match to the restaurant's fresh, simple and pure cuisine. In fact, these two Philly native's collaboration contributed to The New York Times recognizing the restaurant as the fourth best new restaurant in the country.

Hedy creates desserts that are layered with straightforward flavors, textures and techniques. "My whole life has influenced the desserts that I make, and those early salty-sweet memories and big flavors still shape my palate." In Hedy's first cookbook, Baking Out Loud: Fun Desserts with Big Flavors, you'll find signature in-your-face flavors like her tangerine cremsicle pots de crème, buttered popcorn gelato, chocolate bourbon fudge tart and basil panna cotta as well as playful riffs on her childhood favorites like her now legendary Pop Tarts, Snickers, Milk Chocolate Candy Bar, Nutters and O's.

Goldsmith lends her time and support to a number of causes dear to heart like Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation which helps raise money and awareness of childhood cancer causes, primarily research into new treatments and cures.

Goldsmith holds a B.A. in Photography and Film from the Philadelphia College of Art and graduated with honors from the Culinary Institute of America's Baking & Pastry Program in New York. She currently resides in Coral Gables, Florida with her partner and their two shih tzu's, Sweetpea & Cooper.

3.0 out of 5 stars Trouble with recipes October 24, 2012
By Jodi
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a big fan of Hedy's desserts and couldn't wait to try making her desserts as soon as I received the book. I'm a pretty experienced cook but so far I'm 0 for 2 with her recipes. I first tried the chocolate pudding for a dinner party - the recipe was very straightforward and I followed her instructions exactly. The flavor of the pudding was wonderful, but unfortunately it never set so I ended up serving chocolate soup. My next attempt was the chocolate peanut butter bars. Also, very straight forward and easy, and I followed her instructions precisely. The finished product was delicious but i couldn't cut them into appetizing looking bars like the photo in her book. My chocolate cracked and all the pieces were of various shapes and sizes. I couldn't help but wonder what type of people she used as testers for her recipes. I'm sure I'll try another recipe or two and I hope i have better luck with those.

3.0 out of 5 stars Recipes sound good but have had some trouble November 28, 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The first recipe I tried was You've got chocolate in my peanut butter bars. The first step in the recipe is to melt the chocolate and let it cool slightly. Next, make the peanut butter filling and let it chill for 2 to 3 hours. By the time the filling has chilled, the chocolate that you melted in step 1 is hard again. I believe the chocolate should be melted just before you need to use it. The next problem was cutting the bars. The peanut butter filling is soft and the chocolate hard. I could not cut these into neat bars.

Then I tried the salty peanut brittle. While cooking, it suddenly seized up and crystallized. I have been making brittle for years and have never had this happen. That isn't to say this wasn't my fault in some way but I was disappointed with the results.

Format:Hardcover
I love Hedy's cookbook Baking Out Loud. I love he book and wanted to try many of the recipe BUT the recipes are 2 pages each and many of the ingredients are VERY hard to find. How many people have seen finely ground cocoa nibs in a normal supermarket?

So far my boyfriend and I have tried at least 6 of these recipes. The flavors are bold, and we are loving them so far.
The only thing we have run into as an issue is that for us the ice cream recipes are way too thick- so we are just going to use her flavorings with our old base recipe which has a higher cream to egg yolk ratio than her recipes do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly thoughtful cookbook October 7, 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was entertained from the get go with this well written thoughtful cookbook devoted to desserts. Hedy has personalized her recipes making me want to break out my dusty Kitchen aide. I especially appreciate the "variations" letting you know that sometimes experimenting with a recipe can make it your "own". This year for Christmas everyone is getting "Baking out loud"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous and fun! October 8, 2012
Format:Hardcover
Besides all the great pictures, which I love in a cookbook since they give you a real sense of what the chefs style is, the recipes in this book are fun and easy! The snickers (aka chocolate caramel peanut bars) are amazing! And the popcorn ice cream...well, I could eat it all day long! For a real trip down 'childhood treat memory lane', I definitely recommend this book. Especially if, like me, you are a fan of the salty sweet.
