Credited with initiating the chocolate revolution in the 1970s, in her newest cookbook, her ninth, SINFULLY EASY DELICIOUS DESSERTS, Alice focuses on fresh ideas for quick tarts, seasonal fruits, craving-inducing ice cream toppings, press-in pie crusts, and all-ingredients-into-the-food-processor cakes.

Foolproof and well-tested, the recipes also encourage flexibility and individual preference. This approach makes even amateur cooks and those more comfortable with savory dishes confident about preparing them.

Alice, one of the Bay Area's culinary treasures, is an award-winning author, pastry chef, and teacher. She is one of the country’s foremost experts on chocolate and chocolate desserts. Since 1976, when Cocolat, her renowned dessert shop, opened and her first dessert feature (of many) appeared in a national publication, Alice’s innovative ideas and recipes and her insistence on quality ingredients continue to influence confectioners, pastry chefs, and home cooks.
