The Marketplace at Gervasi Vineyard will be hosting a Cookbook Signing with special guest, New York pastry chef and award-winning cookbook author, Nick Malgieri, on Saturday, February 14, from 2PM to 4PM.

Essential Techniques for Perfect Baking, which he’ll sign for you. Or, better yet, get one for yourself and one for your favorite valentine – a perfect gift for any home baker!

Nick Malgieri’s Pastry provides recipes for all types of doughs and step-by-step photos about how to prepare them, roll them, shape them, and bake them. If you have ever had a bad case of “fear of pastry” or “fear of rolling,” just follow the simple instructions here you’ll be able to tackle any pastry project you like. Starting off with a quick tutorial on ingredients and equipment, we then delve into sweet tarts and tartlets; sweet pies, cobblers and crisps; savory pies and tarts; strudels; brioche; and puff pastries, including those with cream. With over 125 recipes, including a tutorial on Turkish pastries and Viennese strudels, Malgieri’s Pastry is the new definitive pastry bible.
