Baking at Home with
Chef Dominique Ansel
“Believe it or not – I seldom baked at home until we were all quarantined in. What started off as a way to introduce my new book, Everyone Can Bake, has turned into a channel to connect with each of you and be a part of your homes.
I have always believed in the happiness, comfort, and community that baking can bring. And I’m so looking forward to sharing that with you and seeing what you bake up. As my refrigerator magnet says: life is what you bake of it.”
— Chef Dominique Ansel
