The first post for the Foodies Read 2015 Challenge starts with a book that I won in one of the My Legume Love Affair editions. The original prize was a chocolate mold and since the prize got delayed to get shipped, Susan, the founder of the event sent me this book along with my win!Isn’t she sweet!
Lil Angel was so happy to see this book and she literally carried it around with her for a couple of day drooling over the pics!
This book – Field Guide to Cookies by Anita Chu comes with the words- How to Identify and Bke Virtually Every Cookie Imaginable.
It has a 100 cookie recipes classified under
