About

A slice of classic New York with sweet recipes that cover every craving, from rugelach to lemon bars to matzoh walnut brownies and coconut layer cake.

William Greenberg Desserts has been a New York City staple for more than seventy years. While maintaining and celebrating the signature recipes, such as the Linzer Tarts and classic Hamantaschen, and of course, the Black & White cookie, this book will offer new and refreshing recipes as well. The bakery triggers nostalgia in certain generations, but a newer audience is building their own memories with inspiring new flavors-for example, without taking away schnecken and hot cross buns, modern goodies like cake pops, whoopee pies, and rainbow cakes are now available, too! This cookbook will carry on the tradition Mr. Greenberg started decades ago. It will maintain his legacy by including stories from Mr. Greenberg, as well as longtime customers, and members of the baking team who were trained by Mr. Greenberg himself, and are now teaching the next generation. Not only are original recipes still followed, but that attention to quality that established the bakery's reputation in the 1940s continues to this day.

Like other New York icons-Russ & Daughters, Katz's Deli, Nathan's Hot Dogs-the upper east side mainstay has become part of the fabric of the city. The timeless recipes are exactly the type of simple yet immensely satisfying sweets everyone wants. These recipes transcend trends while appealing to modern palates. This book adds a fresh perspective to the bakery and its recipes, while also staying true to the tradition and community its customers have loved for decades.
