    • Abstract:
      Summary: "Dessert connects us heart-to-heart like almost nothing else. It brings us together in good times and bad, celebration and solace. It marks big and small milestones and creates memories of comfort and joy. And Christina Tosi, the founder and CEO of Milk Bar, believes it can save the world. Does the combination of sugar, flour, and butter have some magical ability to fix all the craziness of our modern existence? Of course not. Tosi knows a cookie is just a cookie--but bringing the joy a cookie holds into every area of your life most definitely can. The spirit of dessert--the relentless, unflinching commitment to finding or creating joy even when joy feels hard to come by--is what can save us. And then we, in turn, can each save the world." -- Publisher marketing.

      Introductions are awkward -- Just bake the cake -- Joy trails are forged by desserts -- Everyone has a dirty dessert secret -- Ditch the recipe -- Forget the carrot, dangle a cookie -- Milkshakes can perform miracles -- Epilogues are usually ignored.
