The book is Wonderful. I was charged for more copies than I received.

I’m not an avid cookie baker but what sold me on getting this book were some of the content of recipes that were previewed on the site. Now I am grateful of this purchase just in time for the holiday season. A few recipes that I want to try to compliment the fall season would be 1. Cranberry Sconettes 2. Pumpkin pecan cookies 3. Gingersnaps 4. Cloud Nines

This book was much-delayed, but now that it’s finally here, it was worth the wait. There is incredible attention to detail, and I learned many things about the protein content of bleached vs unbleached flour and how the flour in the UK is different from that in the US, etc… everywhere there are helpful insights that point to the science behind different outcomes with different techniques and ingredients. Finally, there’s a very helpful appendix that lists recipes with just egg whites or yolks, flourless recipes, and eggless recipes — I’ll attach pictures to this review.

This is the much awaited and much delayed new cookbook by one of the most respected baking guru Rose Levy Beranbaum. This latest work is dedicated to the art and science of making cookies, containing some 153 or so recipes. Rose has immense insight and knowledge and she shares it generously with the reader. You don’t just get the how to, you also get a detailed why the cookie is made this way. She provides deep insights with each recipe, complete with a list of “gems” of knowledge following each recipe. The reason I deducted 1 star is that if you have a lot of her previous works you will have read a good bit of this before. This is sort of like a “greatest hits” album where all the previous cookies are included in one volume, perhaps remastered, and some new ones are thrown in for good measure. So if you don’t have her previous books this is unquestionably a 5 star book. But if you do have all her other books just know a lot of this is material you already own. I plan to study the recipes in more detail to see what is new and what has changed and will update this review.
