Cookies:: Food Writers’ Favorites
$25.00
by Barbara Gibbs Ostmann and Jane Baker, eds.
Barbara Gibbs Ostmann and Jane Baker edited a whole series of “favorites” cookbooks in the 1980s and 1990s, drawing on recipes contributed by newspaper food writers and editors from around the country. This particular cookbook, specializing in cookies, was a special edition created in 1991 to benefit MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). There are 116 recipes, roughly one to a page, organized by familiar categories (bar cookies, drop cookies, etc.) and well-written: Ostmann and Baker, both themselves newspaper food writers, also literally wrote the book on how to write a recipe in 2001: The Recipe Writer’s Handbook.
Published in 1991 by Dial
Edition: 1st Edition
Binding: Hardcover
Condition: New
Comments: There is an index at the end and several prefaces, including one about the contributors and one with helpful tips about baking and storing cookies, but the longest and most detailed is, true to the book’s origins, about MADD—it’s history, goals, and programs. This appears to be a new, unread copy. Casebound hardback, issued without a dust jacket. 160 pages ; 23 cm. No ISBN.
