The author of the critically acclaimed cookbook The $50 Dinner Party presents a charming and nostalgic compilation of traditional American desserts, including more than one hundred delectable recipes for cookies, bars, cakes, cupcakes, pies, breads, muffins, coffee cakes, and beverages. Original.
I bought this book at a Friends of the Library book sale. It came out in 2000, but many of the recipes are timeless. I found a number that I want to try. There's an especially nice variety of cookie and bar recipes. That said, I really wish there were photographs, and the font type and formatting are not the easiest to read. I look forward to trying out the recipes over the coming months!
