Jeffrey is both an artist and a perfectionist, two virtues that shine in each recipe in this book, but most notably the chocolate chip cookies, a recipe revised over a dozen times, a cookie which is as beautiful as irresistible--since making them once, Ive had a stash of portioned dough balls in my freezer ready to bake at a moments notice, just as Jeffrey suggests. --Alexandra Stafford, Author of Bread Toast Crumbs Jeffrey Larsen has captured all of the nostalgia I love about baking and matched it with a progressive, creative approach to food and ingredients.
