Cookbook Club
Come to Food52 HQ for our Cookbook Club's Sweets Swap
And meet “Dolci!” author Renato Poliafito.
Following a festive Friendsgiving, we're keeping the Food52 Cookbook Club gatherings going with a holiday-themed sweets swap! This time, we’ll be baking and sharing treats from Dolci! by Renato Poliafito. If you were a fan of his former Brooklyn bakeshop, Baked, or a stan for Ciao, Gloria in Prospect Heights, then you know Renato is a master of irresistible cookies, pastries, and savories. In his new cookbook, he gives Italian classics an American twist and on December 5 he’s coming to Food52 HQ bearing cookies from Dolci! to swap with our club.
Together we’ll pool our treats to create a holiday table filled with the sweet and savory (but mostly sweet) recipes from the book, like his Spumoni Loaf (essentially a giant rainbow cookie), his decadent Amaretto Caramel Brownies, and dozens of cookies.
To join in:
Get a ticket. (By buying a ticket and/or participating in this event, you acknowledge and agree to our Ts&Cs linked here.)
Grab a copy of Dolci! (borrow it from a library or friend if you don’t have one)
Pick a recipe that catches your eye. (Join our Baking Club on Facebook to see which recipes our members loved)
Prepare a batch to share.
Once you register, you’ll receive a sign-up sheet so you can let us know what you’ll be bringing. (We’ll supply everything else, including the cocktails and drinks.) Renato will be signing copies of Dolci! too, so bring yours along! Please prepare your treats ahead of time and list the ingredients on cards that we’ll provide for easy sharing. And as a thank-you for participating, you’ll leave with a gift tote and be entered to win a sweet prize for your holiday baking or hosting. Come celebrate the season with us and trade the best treats!
