Today’s guest is Brian Levy, pastry chef, recipe developer, and author of the baking book “Good & Sweet.” Brian’s unique book focuses on sweetening baked goods with fruit instead of sugar, and he joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk about his technique and how it came to be. He then shares how to make his special prune-and-date-sweetened cupcakes with chocolate ermine frosting, a recipe he created for his nephew Hugo. Brian and Jessie also discuss his time working for Gina DePalma, the much-loved Babbo pastry chef; why he loves Costco; and his thoughts on appliance sizes and rotating your baked goods.
