Book Description

June 15, 1990
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.


Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

These basic recipes will not challenge an experienced baker, but they will frustrate the novice. King, proprietor of a Southampton, N.Y., bakery, presumes a thorough understanding of the terminology and techniques essential to her craft. Instructions are minimal, with no glossary to advise the uninitiated: woe betide the beginner who does not know how to stir the muffin batter without destroying the texture of the finished product or how to knead bread dough. The already skilled, on the other hand, may not be tempted by what are primarily King's versions of classics--brownies, chocolate-chip cookies, French bread, pound cake, etc. (An exception is the more innovative chapter devoted to "Healthy Goodies," which introduces several oat-bran breads and low-fat treats.) Connoisseurs, however--those for whom variations in the proportions of fats to leavens command passionate scrutiny--will make room in their repertoires for such standouts as an extra-tart lemon meringue pie and a particularly rich shortbread.

Review

"Kathleen's Bake Shop has gained a reputation among local farmers and fishermen as well as among the affluent summer residents as the ultimate source for extraordinary bakery products...it is, undisputably, the quintessential country bakery."--from the Foreward by Harold Clark

"Her cookies are for cookie jars, not fancy tea parties." --The New Yorker

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, Great Hamptons Shop and Great Food, February 24, 2000
This review is from: Kathleen's Bake Shop Cookbook: The Best Recipes from Southhampton's Favorite Bakery for Homestyle Cookies, Cakes, Pies, Muffins, and Breads (Plastic Comb)
I can't say enough about the whole Kathleen's Bake Shop and recipe book experience. During the summer I spend many weekends in the Hamptons, and everytime I'm there I stop at Kathleen's Bake Shop where the food is amazing. My favorite dessert during the summer is her in-season raspberry crumb pie. Not only is EVERYTHING there outstanding, but the employees are the friendliest and most down to earth people you could want to meet, especially for 'The Hamptons'. Anyway, I bought her recipe book to duplicate her unbelievable chocolate chip cookies and boy was I thrilled with the results! I couldn't tell the difference between mine and Kathleen's from her shop. My hat's off to their excellent recipe testing and editing!

Buy this book, buy it, buy it, buy it! You'll be glad you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you can own only 1 baking book, this should be it., May 16, 1999

I bought this book for my mom many years ago and now I find I borrow it all the time. The blueberry muffins are "the best". The recipes in the book are the type that you use time and time again - everyones favorites. From muffins to pies, Kathleen's gets it right every time.
