A Young Fan in Chi-town

Wendy and Bill

“Cookie porn” is how WGN-Chicago radio host Wendy Snyder described TGACCCB during our chat on her morning show with Bill Leff Friday morning. Snyder also said the book has rivaled only the Toys R Us catalog for capturing her 10-year-old son’s pre-holiday attention and that he has been busy circling recipes from it he wants her to make. Check out our wide-ranging discussion (Snyder and Leff are also rightly obsessed with the late, great Jell-O 1, 2,3) here.

David A., me and Famous cookies

My visit with Philly.com food guy Michael Klein and David Auspitz at Auspitz’s Famous 4th Street Cookies last week resulted in this great post that also appeared in the print edition of the Philadelphia Inquirer’s (aka Inky’s) Food section today under the headline “The Book on a Favorite Food” (ironically placed beside a story titled “Why Can’t We Make What We Like?). Hope to see you Saturday at Reading Terminal Market!

Got some love in today’s Parade magazine (print version below). The companion online piece shows the book jacket and excerpts my chocolate chip whoopie pie recipe. Between that and Nick Foles’ seven touchdown passes, I am feeling no pain!

Great Boston Globe piece today about the Oct. 19 Whitman launch event, my book and what’s going to make Whitman’s first First Night extra special.

What are you doing this New Year's Eve? I'm going to be watching this giant metal chocolate chip cookie (here under construction) drop into a giant glass of milk.
