A really good cookie, that is. It can spark a romance, comfort in time of need, relay gratitude and smooth over a gaffe. It can even bring a community together. In short, a great cookie can be the start of an even greater story. To celebrate its 30th anniversary, this book brings together the stories of Levain Bakery in a beautifully designed, carefully curated book—filled with photographs, custom illustrations, and a small selection of our favorite recipes. (No cookie recipes—we’re keeping those secret!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounders and bakers Connie McDonald and Pam Weekes personally recount how Levain became the success it is today—from building a client list in Anthony Bourdain’s kitchen and later beating Bobby Flay in a chocolate chip cookie-off to becoming a bicoastal enterprise while retaining a small business’s dedication to community. An homage to the bakery and the city where it originated, the perfect gift for cookie fans, as well as a collectible souvenir from this iconic New York institution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10% of the proceeds of this book will be donated to \u003ci\u003eHot Bread Kitchen\u003c\/i\u003e, an organization committed to creating economic opportunity through culinary job skills training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56436541784438,"sku":"9781595911513","price":39.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_36192129.jpg?v=1760354416","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781595911513-levain-bakery","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
