Baker Christina Tosi has been gaining a national reputation for sugary treats with Milk Bar, her online sweet shop. In her audiobook, she delivers advice for living joyfully. As narrator, Tosi is bubbly about how surprised she always felt when her early concoctions succeeded. The conspiratorial tone she takes on when recounting her mother’s concept of “joy giving” will make listeners feel like part of Tosi’s inner circle. Her muted, friendly attitude in discussing product bottlenecks will encourage struggling business people. Her mood grows dark only once—when recalling a family squabble. She’s even upbeat when sharing people’s reactions to her relentless cheerfulness. There are recipes, with asides aplenty, and a pdf is included to use when trying them out in the kitchen.

The James Beard Award-winning founder of Milk Bar and host of Bake Squad shares her personal stories and wisdom for igniting passion, following your joy, and creating a satisfying life.
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.
Tosi shares the wisdom she learned growing up surrounded by strong women who showed her baking's ability to harness love and create connection, as well as personal stories about succeeding in the highly competitive food world by unapologetically being her true self. Studded with personal and unorthodox recipes, Dessert Can Save the World reveals the secret ingredients for transforming our outlooks, our relationships, our work, and our entire collective existence into something boldly optimistic and stubbornly joyful.
