review 1: this is a lovely book, without a hard cover. alice is always exceptional. i wish the recipes fit onto one page but then it wouldn't have looked so phenom. haha. i am going to try the snickerdoodles of all things. for some reason her description of "delicately crunchy rounds of cinnamon-topped French toast" speaks to me. she also exhorts to chill the dough overnight for almost all cookies. i concur!
review 2: I kind of wish that Alice Medrich would consent to be my best friend, and have me over for the Earl Grey tea cookies. This is a really beautifully photographed book, and the intro that explains some of Medrich's methods and reasoning is nicely broken down. Sometimes I feel like cookbook authors take a patronizing tone when they explain things like this.
... moreWhat I really like about this book (in addition to the awesome cookie recipes) is that Medrich takes a conspiratorial tone, like you're an old friend who asked to tell you a little bit about cookie making. My only complaint is that the index is unbelievably difficult to navigate. Somebody get that girl a librarian. less

First up, the name of her book is delicious. Next, just make her brownies. 'Nuff said (:

Lots of good ideas, but for some reason, I wasn't very inspired by any of them.
