A collection of stories from three decades of craft, community, and cookies at Levain Bakery.
It’s amazing what a cookie can do. A really good cookie, that is. It can spark a romance, comfort in time of need, relay gratitude and smooth over a gaffe. It can even bring a community together. In short, a great cookie can be the start of an even greater story. To celebrate its 30th anniversary, this book brings together the stories of Levain Bakery in a beautifully designed, carefully curated book–filled with photographs, illustrations, and a selection of recipes.
Founders and bakers Connie McDonald and Pam Weekes personally recount how Levain became the success it is today–from building a client list in Anthony Bourdain’s kitchen and later beating Bobby Flay in a chocolate chip cookie-off to becoming a bicoastal enterprise while retaining a small business’s dedication to community. The book will also share some classic Levain recipes: blueberry muffins, oatmeal raisin scones, and more. An homage to the bakery and the city where it originated, this book is the perfect gift for cookie fans, as well as a collectible souvenir from this iconic New York institution.
10% of the proceeds of this book will be donated to Hot Bread Kitchen, an organization committed to creating economic opportunity through culinary job skills training.
