Tracey Zabar has never met a cookie she didn't like. Best known for her beautiful jewelry designs, as the jewelry stylist for Sex and the City, a passionate collector of charm bracelets, and author of the best-selling book Charmed Bracelets, Zabar is also a trained pastry chef and a self-proclaimed cookie addict!
One way to satisfy her obsession is to host an old-fashioned cookie swap in her home. Zabar's family have been honoring this tradition for more than 50 years, and she looks forward every year to gathering with her friends to share favorite recipes and cookies. It was at one of these cookie swaps where the idea for her new book ONE SWEET COOKIE: Celebrated Chefs Share Favorite Recipes (Rizzoli New York / October 2011 / Hardcover with Jacket) was born.
Zabar embarked on a cookie quest and returned with Mario Batali's Crazy Cowboy Cookies, Daniel Boulud's Bougres de Lyon, Lidia Bastianich's Orange Cookies, Francois Payard's Flourless Chocolate Cookies, and Thomas Keller's Ice Cream Sandwiches. And, with each recipe, comes a personal (and amusing) anecdote. As Zabar's recipe collection grew to 100 recipes from more than 60 contributors - including her own family's beloved recipes - she discovered that she had acquired an international array of sweet treats with flavors ranging from the traditional to the exotic. Rounding out the stellar recipes is Zabar's own baking wisdom covering everything from recommended ingredients to keep a well-stocked baker's pantry, essential baking equipment for creating the perfect cookie, and a wealth of tips and time-saving techniques.
Stew Leonard's will sell ONE SWEET COOKIE at the special price of $24.99 (usually priced at $30.00).
Stew Leonard's will be selling the book at the special price of $17.99/each or 2/$30.
