I want my body to have a "sense", to "hear" stuff and do stuff with out my brain getting in the way. BUT IT DOESN'T.

I am in love with this book! I love baking, I love new recipes, I love Grand Central and I love books that cover baking tips and long passed down baking secrets, and this book covers all these areas!

this is a really really good cookbook. we go to grand central bakery all the time and everything there is delicious (except the french macarons, strangely), and every recipe I've tried so far from this book has been very good. a great resource for simple but delicious desserts like cookies and cakes.

I love this cookbook. Not only does it have the recipes for some of my favorite Grand Central treats, the instructions are detailed and geared for someone who is not a consummate baker. I feel like I'm in the kitchen with the author, learning all her trade secrets.
I've only made jammers so far (the reason I wanted the book) and they are delicious!
