As thecronut craze

grows, so does the ridiculously long line outside Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York City. But what if you could get an illustrious cronut without waiting in line? Dominique Ansel, creator of the Cronut™, has been officially tapped to pen a cookbook. Called "Dominique Ansel: The Secret Recipes," the cookbook "will showcase Ansel's artistry and versatility in a unique format: stories and commentary will guide readers through Ansel's recipes, sources of inspiration, and favorite moments of surprise, which they can then take into their own kitchens to recreate Ansel's most famous and elusive treats," stated a press release. Simon and Schuster will publish the cookbook, which is slated to hit stores in October 2014.

7-second life story: I was pre-med in college, until I realized that I could turn baking my problems away (instead of doing my chem homework) into a profession.
Hometown: Los Angeles
3 things I make better than anyone else: Pancakes (they are a Sunday morning staple for the Bain family), cookie dough (I will take the raw stuff over just-out-of-the-oven cookies any day), chili
Recipe I'm on the eternal hunt for: The easiest-ever, throw-together soup that I still have time to make after work
Kitchen technique I just can't get right: Poaching eggs. I swirl the water, just like everyone says I should, but it never works. #fail
