Here's the thing. I want to be a good dancer. I want to be a good singer. I want to be a musician. I want to be an artist. I'M NOT ANY OF THESE THINGS!

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!
So far, I have made Grand Central's famous "Jammers" (similar to a scone with a dollop of jam in the middle...like a giant Jam Thumb print cookie) and the Blueberry muffins. The Jammers are identical to the ones served at the bakery (and super easy to make!), and although the muffins were a little d...more

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.
A wonderful book, the rescipes work, need samll adjustments,, I just round sugar down and butter down, watch bake time. I make the gallettes and savory pies and freeze them. I do not use their pie dough directiosn, I use my family one which has worked for years, itsnot french.
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!
