027 A Conversation with Tina Zaccardi, Great Amerian Bakeoff Winner

Introduction

Tina Zaccardi, winner of The Great American Bakeoff Season 4 inspires me in two ways. First, she reminds us that everything takes time. On the other hand, as an amateur baker who never attended culinary or pastry school, she also reminds us that time IS sufficient to master any craft. Second, what I love most about Tina and her Nana’s child-friendly sprinkle cookies, is that Tina’s success (and this recipe) were ultimately motivated by the simple but lofty motive of baking delicious things to make others happy. And it’s nice to know that’s enough. 

Highlights

• Making Sprinkle Cookies with her grandmother when home sick
• The long, rewarding path of self-education and taking risks
• The scoop!! Behind the scenes in the tent
• The moment she heard she won!
