You may have spied Los Angeles-based pastry chef Nicole Rucker's glorious pastries and baked goods—previously from her popular spots Gjelina Take Away and Gjusta, and later from her pie company Rucker's Pie and her restaurant Fiona—in your Instagram feed. Now, she's released her debut cookbook, a paean to baking fruity desserts like peach and ricotta biscuit cobbler and huckleberry blondies with peak-season produce. Catch her at Book Larder, where you can try a recipe from Dappled and pick up a signed copy. by Julianne Bell
