Following a festive Friendsgiving, we’re holding the Food52 Cookbook Membership gatherings going with a holiday-themed sweets swap! This time, we’ll be baking and sharing treats from Dolci! by Renato Poliafito. When you have been a fan of his former Brooklyn bakeshop, Baked, or a stan for Ciao, Gloria in Prospect Heights, then you already know Renato is a grasp of irresistible cookies, pastries, and savories. In his new cookbook, he offers Italian classics an American twist and on December 5 he’s coming to Food52 HQ bearing cookies from Dolci! to swap with our membership.

Collectively we’ll pool our treats to create a vacation desk crammed with the candy and savory (however largely candy) recipes from the guide, like his Spumoni Loaf (basically an enormous rainbow cookie), his decadent Amaretto Caramel Brownies, and dozens of cookies.

To affix in:

• Get a ticket. (By shopping for a ticket and/or collaborating on this occasion, you acknowledge and comply with our Ts&Cs linked right here.)

• Seize a duplicate of Dolci! (borrow it from a library or buddy for those who don’t have one)

• Decide a recipe that catches your eye. (Be part of our Baking Membership on Fb to see which recipes our members liked)

• Put together a batch to share.

When you register, you’ll obtain a sign-up sheet so you’ll be able to tell us what you’ll be bringing. (We’ll provide all the pieces else, together with the cocktails and drinks.) Renato will probably be signing copies of Dolci! too, so convey yours alongside! Please put together your treats forward of time and record the elements on playing cards that we’ll present for simple sharing. And as a thank-you for collaborating, you’ll go away with a present tote and be entered to win a candy prize in your vacation baking or internet hosting. Come have fun the season with us and commerce the most effective treats!
