Lucie Franc de Ferriere discusses her baking journey and her new cookbook blending French and New York influences.

Today’s guest is Lucie Franc de Ferriere, the self-taught baker and founder of From Lucie, the popular East Village bakery known for its mini cakes, chocolate chip cookies, and French-inflected charm. Lucie is also the author of the new cookbook “Cake From Lucie: Recipes and Techniques From the French Countryside to New York City.” Lucie and host Kerry Diamond discuss how the book blends her upbringing in southwest France with her life in New York, the importance of working with a creative team that understands her vision, and why she wanted the book to feel personal and approachable.
