“Dazzling. . . . [Polzine] brings a fresh approach and singular panache. . . . Her clear voice and precise, idiosyncratic instructions will allow home bakers to make exquisite fruit tarts with strawberries and plums, elegant cookies and layer cakes.”
—Emily Weinstein, New York Times, The 14 Best Cookbooks of Fall 2020
“This book . . . just keeps on giving. An absolute joy for bakers.”
—Diana Henry, The Telegraph (U.K.), The 20 Best Cookbooks to Buy This Autumn
Admit it. You're here for the famous honey cake. A glorious confection of ten airy layers, flavored with burnt honey and topped with a light dulce de leche cream frosting. It's an impressive cake, but there's so much more. Wait until you try the Dobos Torta or Plum Kuchen or Vanilla Cheesecake.
Throughout her baking career, Michelle Polzine of San Francisco's celebrated 20th Century Cafe has been obsessed with the tortes, strudels, Kipferl, rugelach, pierogi, blini, and other famous delicacies you might find in a grand cafe of Vienna or Prague. Now she shares her passion in a book that doubles as a master class, with over 75 no-fail recipes, dozens of innovative techniques that bakers of every skill level will find indispensable (no more cold butter for a perfect tart shell), and a revelation of ingredients, from lemon verbena to peach leaves.
Many recipes are lightened for contemporary tastes, and are presented through a California lens—think Nectarine Strudel or Date-Pistachio Torte. A surprising number are gluten-free. And all are written with the author's enthusiastic and singular voice, describing a cake as so good it "will knock your socks off, and wash and fold them too."
Who wouldn't want a slice of that? With Schlag, of course.

1.some things are overcomplicated,like the Chocolate Butter cream for the Dobos torta. The extra complicated steps add nothing to the taste or texture.
2. Some recipes are unauthentic-this is not even a critique as it states at the beginning that these are her interpretations,but this is good to know!
Otherwise I love this book!


My thoughts, in case they help you:
- this book is a new level of baking and cooking.Plenty of helpful good advices that teaches to better do things, and Organic’ ideas ( proof old-fashioned method, starter for bread), advises from her failures.
- I also like that I don’t need to modify quasi anything ( apart from: failed on the kiffels because I did not use baking jam - do not use any jam as the book mentions, trust me, it doesn’t work with ‘any’; second: adjusted brown butter- toffee shortbread - rectangle should be 20x25 cms instead of 11x15cm, as per picture; and the third for the pogacsa p285, if you cut circles too small they tilt in the oven, and better if you freeze them before baking)
- I like the pictures, because it helps me to see the final result and adjust if I need.
- Recipes that I did without modification: Kipferl ( a must!), walnut Hamentaschen( good!), linzer Augen ( this cookie is sooo good that you could eat it without jam. I used the sour orange jam- perfect for me), Toffee (this is the best natural way/recipe to do toffee, I personally dislike recipes that use light corn syrup to make them prettier or faster to dry), I also backed the salty tarts ( gypsy and tartlets) and the pogacsa( see note above). I applauded the pierogis! What an excellent recipe! Never liked the stored bought ones, nor some farm made ones with just plain potatoes and some cabbage. I did not change a coma from the recipe and works fantastic. I also tried the breads, and the pumpkin seed one and bagels are a must. Again, I followed the recipes as described and perfect results.
My next steps are the strudel and honey cake. I am convinced that they will not disappoint.
As a con, the only comment I would make is that it’s kind of difficult and expensive to find some ingredients: Nocino comes from EU with an expensive price., special-for-baking poppy seeds (They are pricey!), others: I ordered via Amazon ( I was not able to find them in regular stores): buckwheat flour, barley syrup, special high-gluten flour (I got Kyrol from Amazon) for the strudel, .. some ok prices if you search. I also invested on a bigger scale.
In short, this book is definitely good, with good results. (after having tried a good amount of recipes )
I would like to see a ‘part 2’ of this book! It’s a little treasure including the 40s style...
12/18-Update: honey cake.
I baked it following exact directions. I only changed the boiling time of the condensed can to 4 hours. Next time I will leave it longer (to follow Mrs Polzine’s time) to get a darker color. Result: the cake was delicious,! not super sweet, it is still moist after day 5, very tasty. Of note, I checked video of Russian cake recipe (Chef John - food dishes) to visualize the mixing part ( butter, 2 honeys, sugar...). It helps to visualize it.
