Beskrivelse
The modern cookie was (quite literally) shaped by allegations of murder (dismissed upon forensic evidence!), fraud (or rather, a "marketing" strategy?), mass incarcerations, and lawsuits (with pointed observations written on cookies for the judges) - quite as much as communal ovens, the pride of noble houses, and humor.
Would it surprise you to learn the "lucky numbers" in fortune cookies are actually lucky, or that the cookie has had profound cultural and religious meaning? It's a lot to chew on - so after reading this book, try out some of its authentic and original recipes for your favorite Jumbles, Oatmeal Raisins, Chocolate Chips, Hamentashen, and Pizzelles!
