The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Dessert Cookbook: 100 Delicious Heritage Recipes from the Farm and Garden shows off the decadent recipes that the Beekman Boys have collected from across the generations of their families, from Brent’s grandmother’s Fourth of July Fruitcake to Josh’s mother’s Hot Chocolate Dumplings. Each recipe is accompanied by a personal memory from the authors or a story about how that recipe came to be. With eco-conscious and vintage-oriented food production gaining traction as a major culinary trend, this beautiful package is a must for the dessert enthusiast whether they’re nostalgic for some classic Americana in their kitchen or just hankering for the perfect Blackberry Betty recipe.
Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell are the founders of Beekman 1802, a company based around their 60-acre farm in upstate New York. They’ve been called “the next Martha Stewarts” by Epicurious and “the fastest growing lifestyle brand in America” by NASDAQ.
Season 21 winners of “The Amazing Race,” they are the authors of The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Cookbook, and live in Sharon Springs.
