Kit Wohl has created a beautiful collection of sweets that the Crescent City is known and admired for. She's included recipes for everything from cakes, cookies, and flambeéd restaurant favorites to the sauces for serving them up. Throughout the years, I’ve enjoyed making the Beignets, Banana Cream Pie, Baked Alaska and Brennan’s Bananas Foster.
