Today’s guest is Nicole Rucker, the award-winning pastry chef and owner of L.A.’s cult-favorite bakery Fat + Flour. Nicole is also the author of the new cookbook, “Fat + Flour: The Art of a Simple Bake.” 

Nicole joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk about falling out of love with baking during the pandemic and how her new book helped her rediscover the joy in it. She breaks down her revolutionary “cold butter method” for foolproof pie dough and walks Jessie through her Blueberry with Lavender and Cream Cheese Crumble Pie recipe from “Fat + Flour.”
