How Fat + Flour's founder busts the myth that baking has to be hard
Briefly

Nicole Rucker, the founder of Fat + Flour, transformed her bakery and cafe into a success after overcoming personal challenges, including a previous restaurant closure. Her new cookbook, "Fat + Flour: The Art of a Simple Bake," focuses on simplifying dessert-making, emphasizing her innovative "Cold Butter Method" which eliminates traditional butter preparation. By integrating retro recipes, Rucker aims to make classic desserts easier and more enjoyable, demonstrating that indulgence doesn't have to be complicated, especially in a time with rising ingredient costs.
"It is really about not fighting against the fact that the world is different and we've got to do hard things, but we shouldn't have to do so many hard things to enjoy something like a treat."
Rucker's latest cookbook dives into comforting classics done simply, drawing inspiration from decades past and adapting them for modern baking.
