Overview
This is what happens when a devoted daughter revives her famous-baker-dad's recipes—and uncovers a hidden family history.
In this narrative cookbook, Marcy Brenner's devotion to her dad, Max, is evident from the first line to the last—but her journey of discovery goes back in time, to long before she tasted her first Chocolate Top Cookie.
We follow her journey, starting with a childhood of working holidays at Brenner's Bakery in Alexandria, Virginia, and culminating in teaching herself to bake like a pro in her own kitchen. To learn Max's secrets, she decoded his cryptic, commercial recipe cards. In so doing, uncovered an unexpected story—one of generations of bakers who both protected their past and used love as their primary ingredient.
Features fifty primary recipes, with variations, and a special "Notes" section on banking tips and tricks—including how-to's for bread starters. Plus, more than 100 four-color process photos, along with black-and-white illustrations of Max's favorites. The narrative pages include Brenner family photos, past and present.
