magazines, there's a new book that will get you from dough to done
with minimal hassle...[A]nyone who wants to make beautiful cookies
will find [Cookie Craft] jammed with ideas and advice."
J.M. Hirsch, Associated Press "A must-have for this particularly
driven subset of the baking crowd, by New Yorkers who write about
food and have mastered pastry arts. The authors take an A-to-Z
approach in planning, creating, storing and shipping decorated
cookies."Washington Post"Word to the wise: Thumb through Cookie
Craft after eating. Otherwise, the pages packed with sugary
confections will turn you into an insatiable cubicle cookie
monster. Those who like to get their hands doughy, regardless of
skill level, can find a manageable project here."Washington

directives."ForeWord Magazine
