"Time-wasting fussiness and artificial ingredients are reconsidered in favor of practical, modern updates, fresh flavors, and global influences [in a book featuring] favorites such as hummingbird cake, lemon layer cake, peach cobbler, peanut butter pie, triple cherry pie, and buttered pecan ice cream. Homemade staples such as upside-down cake, red velvet cake, key lime pie, cornbread pudding, and snickerdoodles are elevated with simple and inspired twists" -- Amazon.com.
