Bridget Lancaster, lead instructor for the America's Test Kitchen Cooking School, specializes in pastry. She has no formal training, but she has some of the best tools a baker can have in their toolbox: adaptability, planning prowess, and a dash of confidence. She learned it partly from her grandfather, an Army vet with an affinity for turning Army rations into intricate baked goods. Such skills pay off during Easter, when the holiday meal comes early. Cheat codes are essential.
