The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Dessert Cookbook: 100 Delicious Heritage Recipes from the Farm and Garden Description
Dr. Brent Ridge and
New York Times bestselling author Josh Kilmer-Purcell are not your average couple: The two Manhattanites left their big city lives behind, and found themselves living in bucolic Sharon Springs, New York, where they became "accidental goat farmers." But what began as a way to reconnect with their own style of modern country living soon exploded into a wildly successful brand, Beekman 1802, named after their historic home. Brent and Josh are now world-renowned for producing everything from magnificent handcrafted goat's milk soaps to artisanal Blaak cheese, and now, with
The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Dessert Cookbook, they're bringing their special vintage-modern touch to classic, remarkable recipes bound to become family favorites year after year.
The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Dessert Cookbook will show off the delicious and decadent recipes that the Beekman Boys have collected from across the generations of their family, from Brent's grandmother's Fourth of July Fruitcake to Josh's mother's Hot Chocolate Dumplings. Each recipe will be accompanied by a personal memory from the authors or a story about how that recipe came to be. With eco-conscious and vintage-oriented food production gaining traction as a major culinary trend, this beautiful package will reel in readers, whether they're nostalgic for some classic Americana in their kitchen or just hankering for the perfect Blackberry Betty recipe.

Yes, most of the recipes are vintage, some are riffs on familiar crowd-pleasers, many have been tweaked to give old, tried-and-true recipes a subtle Beekman Farm charm. What you'll find in this book is a stupendous compilation of great recipes, and just because they are vintage that does NOT mean that these are the same versions that you have on your old recipe cards. The authors term this assortment of recipes "Heirloom", well, maybe for them they are. I can't call them heirloom until I start passing them along to the young cooks in my family. I do anticipate that will happen. In the meantime, I can definitely call them "keepers".
In fact, I've got a relative's bridal shower to attend in a few months and I plan to present her with a copy of this book in addition to something from her list. Why include this book? For one thing, the recipes are that good and they are not difficult for an inexperienced cook. They are recipes that every baker should have in her/his repertoire. For another thing, it is a beautiful book with stunning photography of the finished dishes, vintage kitchenware, and pastoral farm settings. And, last but not least, the authors have included something precious: At the end of each season, (that's how the recipes are divided), they have included ruled, blank, full pages designated for your own family heirloom recipes. I plan to write in some of our family recipes before wrapping up the book for giving.
I found it interesting that I recently reviewed another cookbook actually called "Keepers". In it, I was expecting to find great, old-time, tried-and-true recipes--but I didn't find them.
I'm new to the Beekman cookbooks. I missed their initial heirloom recipes book a few years ago, but I saw this new dessert edition at the local B&N, thumbed through it for about a minute, and decided that I had to order it. This book has become my quintessential winter baking book in a short time.
It is a beautifully bound hardcover with a definite heirloom keepsake vibe. I love the plate in the front of the book that reads "the first generation to own this book is" with a blank series of lines for you to fill in. There are blank lines at the bottom of most recipes and after each chapter so that you can pen in your own precious seasonal family recipes. This is excellent if you want to give the book as a gift to a loved one and share your own family heritage.
The book is arranged seasonally, winter through fall, to highlight the best that each season has to offer. You will find both classic recipes (do it all yellow cake, banana pudding with vanilla wafers, vanilla pastry cream) and amazing twists (chocolate rocky road potstickers, oatmeal cream pie with ginger cream, cinnamon bun bundt cake). I find that the majority of ingredients are readily available with no special searching or ordering. The recipes are clearly written and many can be made by a novice baker who is detail-oriented. I love the one bowl chocolate almond cake.
I only have one small gripe with the book, and it isn't enough for my to downgrade my five star rating. The nostalgic pictures of these desserts are breathtaking. I wish there were more pictures.
