July 25, 201660 Recipes and Techniques for Turning the Ordinary into the Extraordinary

by Mindy Segal
A new, edgier take on baking cookies, from a James Beard Award-winning chef and the owner of the popular Chicago restaurant, HotChocolate.
Mindy Segal is an up-and-coming chef and baker who’s serious about cookies and bars. In her first cookbook, Segal turns classic recipes into more elevated, fun interpretations of everyone’s favorite sweet treat. From Brown Butter with Hickory Smoked Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies and Crème de Violet Snickerdoodles, to Citrus, Brown Butter, and Graham Cracker Shortbread with Framboise Preserves and Hibiscus Sugar Rugelach, Segal’s recipes are inspired and far from expected. This modern twist on a traditional favorite is the perfect addition to every baker’s bookshelf.

Summary
The recipes in this book are downright amazing and if you are an experienced baker I would recommend it. If you are new to baking I would look for a different cookie book. The ingredients are sometimes unusual and hard to find and the recipes have a tendency to be very involved and takes a long time to make. Personally I prefer cookies that I can make in about an hour not 4 days like some of these.
