Regenerative Baking #3: Brian Levy on Naturally Sweetened Pastries

Episode Summary

When it comes to baking what you grow, processing sugar feels like a hitch in the gears. But pastry cook and author Brian Levy tackles this question with "Good & Sweet," his inventive cookbook of thoroughly-tested dessert recipes that use no added sugar. Instead, everything is sweetened with a combination of fruit (fresh, cooked, dried, or freeze-dried) and other ingredients with natural built-in sweetness, like coconut flakes or chestnut flour, opening up doors of complex, flavorful possibilities.
