Gottlieb's Bakery: Savannah's Sweetest Tradition (GA) (The History Press) ReviewI just received a copy of this book- "Gottlieb's Bakery- Savannah's Sweetest Tradition" in the mail. I have spent about 20 minutes looking at it and comparing it to the original cookbook, that was spiral bound and called "Gottlieb's Bakery- 100 years of recipes". They are almost the same book. The second book, that I am officially reviewing here, seems to have all the recipes that were in the original book-but I did not notice any new ones. So unless I missed something, the recipe content seems to be identical in the two books. The new book has 4 two sided sheets of paper, with color pictures of some of the baked goods featured in the recipes. The two books are almost identical in length-but the older, out of print edition did not have color photos and the new book does has a few more "memories" at the beginning of the book. So, to sum it up, the second book is, in my opinion, a polished up, reissue of the first book that is now out of print . So, if you have the first book, you do not need this book unless you'd just like a new copy!
Why the 5 stars? Because it is an excellent baking book. I have tried the candy sprinkle cookies ( which I changed slightly), the hamantashen, and the danish pastry method and fillings. All were delicious. Even when the first book was selling for over $100 used, I would not sell mine- because I loved it too much ( and it was too marked up with my own notes!). Now, anyone who would like a copy of this cookbook can buy the new edition for a very reasonable price.Gottlieb's Bakery: Savannah's Sweetest Tradition (GA) (The History Press) Overview

Fat Witch Brownies: Brownies, Blondies, and Bars from New York's Legendary Fat Witch Bakery ReviewLet me start out by saying that being a New Yorker, I've visited the Fat Witch Bakery more times than I can count or remember. If I haven't strolled into the store to buy their treats, or sent my husband there on a 911 dessert emergency, I've had them delivered to my apartment by messenger. I could pick out a Fat Witch brownie from a lineup, blindfolded. So, to say I know them well is an understatement :) This is a beautifully produced, photographed, and written book - one that I've been anxiously awaiting so that I can replicate the Fat Witch brownie magic at home. However, much like a previous reviewer said, all of the recipes I have tried (and I'm a very experienced home baker) produce cake-like brownies and are very much UNlike the actual dense and rich Fat Witch brownies/blondies from the bakery. It's evident that Patricia Helding guards her recipes and ingredients well - you'll never find an ingredient list for any of her bars on the bakery's website... they are only printed on a tiny label that is affixed to each treat, almost as if they don't want anyone to actually read them. After having tried numerous recipes from the book, and two of the recipes twice over using different methods each time, it makes me think that none of the recipes will replicate the Fat Witch bakery's products, nor are they the same recipes that the bakery uses. This is a great dessert bar cookbook if you have no interest in mimicking Fat Witch brownies. In my mind, the reason professional bakeries and restaurants release cookbooks is so that home cooks can recreate their favorite dishes and desserts for their own family and friends. I've never come across another restaurant/bakery cookbook that comes as far away from the original dishes/desserts as this one... it makes me absolutely irate that Patricia Helding acts like she's opening up the vault, and all she's doing is publishing a set of bar recipes that bear little to no resemblance to what has made her bakery so famous.Fat Witch Brownies: Brownies, Blondies, and Bars from New York's Legendary Fat Witch Bakery Overview
