Storey Publishing, LLC, 2007

The only cookie decorating book you need!
I don't write reviews too often, but this book definitely moved me to write one. I have some time off after moving and wanted to teach myself a new skill, and my family loves sweets, so... cake/cookie decorating it is! Comparing to icing cakes, cookies are a breeze (at least to this novice.) The designs in this book are cute without being too twee, and are relatively easy to do. I made the ...

A very kid-friendly cookbook!
We have had this cookbook for about a year and have used it quite a bit when planning weekly menus. The recipes don't have too many ingredients and they are very kid-friendly. My son is 9 years-old and he loves to make the double chocolate chip cookies. We like everything we have cooked from this book, and it is good when you are trying to increase the number of items a fussy eater will ...

NAL Trade, 2008

Yummy and most entertaining
Livia Washburn has won the Private Eye Writers of America award and the American Mystery award. She has been nominated for the Spur award (western novels). The first thing that will draw you to The Christmas Cookie Killer is the cover. It's delightful and begs potential readers to pick up the book. And I suspect that once the book is in the hands of said potential reader and they read the ...

Martha Stewart Living Magazine

Clarkson Potter, 2008

Simple, elegant, delicious
You can't go wrong with Martha Stewart's cookbooks. The cookie recipes are excellent, and the ideas on displaying/presenting them are also excellent. The focus is on creating high quality cookies with excellent ingredients -- not on making it look cute (not that there's anything wrong with that). The book includes some old standbys and some new gourmet creations. The book also includes some ...

Nick Malgieri's Best Book Yet
I'm a bit of a cookbook geek with over 300 in my collection. I have purchased several of Nick Malgieri's books through the years. I have to say that "The Mondern Baker" is by far his best yet. It seems like the book he was meant to write. As with all his books, the instructions are clear and the recipes well tested to make sure they work every time in the home kitchen. What sets this book apart ...

Scholastic Reader Level 1: May I Please Have A Cookie? (Scholastic Reader)

8 reviews

CARTWHEEL BOOKS, 2005

Very simple and sweet lesson
My almost 4 year old son loves this book! We read it every day; sometimes 2, 3, or 4 times. At first he didn't understand the "lesson". But, after a few times reading it, he did grasp the concept of saying "please". He has told me, several times, that this is his favorite book. A brief summary of the book: Alfie loves cookies and wants one of the cookies Mommy just baked. Using several ...

Twelve, 2008

Delightful Look at "Authentic" Food Culture
In The Fortune Cookies Chronicles (2008), Jennifer 8. Lee explores how dishes like these and Chinese food in general has "ceased to be ethnic" (19) and yet arguably and identifiably Chinese at the same. As one American military officer in Iraq noted, "What could be more American than beer and take-out Chinese?" (26). In order to understand how Chinese food can be both Chinese and American at the ...

Little, Brown and Company, 2007

the one and only recipe i tried was great!
i was given this book by a friend who believes it contains the "best ever" recipe for red velvet cake. i have made many and find them ironically either too oily or too dry. this one is quite good, i admit, albeit not the best ever. in any event, the cooking time was wrong! having done a considerable amount of baking myself, i knew i would not need to bake 3 9-inch cakes for 45 minutes. i set my ...
