Kathleen’s Bake Shop Cookbook: The Best Recipes from Southhampton’s Favorite Bakery for Homestyle Cookies, Cakes, Pies, Muffins, and Breads

$19.72

I found Kathleen King’s cookbooks when it was first published and baked just about every recipe in the book. Each recipe was superb and her Chocolate Cake with the Chocolate Frosting became an all time family tradition – we still have not found another chocolate cake that compares to its purity of texture and taste. I absolutely love the Oatmeal Bread and the Corn Muffins. Kathleen King’s cookbooks are among my very favorite to bake from. This is a MUST in any baker’s kitchen.

At age eleven, Kathleen King began selling her oversized chocolate chip cookies at her family’s farm in eastern Long Island. As her reputation and clientele grew, she earned enough to send herself to restaurant school and, in 1980, to open Kathleen’s Bake Ship in Southhampton, New York. The shop, now with an additional location in Manhattan, has become famous for its freshly baked, old-fashioned cookies, muffins, breads, pies, brownies, and cakes.

The simple recipes collected here include such traditional favorites as Molasses Cookies, Lemon Bars, Peasant Bread, Buttermilk Biscuits, Peach Crumb Pie, Oat-Bran Muffins, Carrot Cake, Blueberry Buckle, Yellow Cake with Chocolate Icing, and, of course, unbeatable Chocolate Chip Cookies. Southhampton residents have enjoyed Kathleen’s kitchen wizardry for nearly a decade. Now her best recipes are available to home bakers everywhere.
