Here's a sweet gift for someone who likes to cook -- or just likes cookies! This appealing Pocket Packet™ contains a set of miniature cookie cutters and a 48page book with cookie recipes and baking tips straight from the original Joy of Cooking.
In 1931, a St. Louis widow named Irma von Starkloff Rombauer took her life savings and self-published a book called The Joy of Cooking. Her daughter, Marion, tested recipes and made the illustrations, and they sold their mother-daughter project from Irma's apartment.
