More About the Author

Called "a destination ... worth putting miles on the odometer" by The New York Times, Tate's Bake Shop in Southampton, NY prides itself on providing simple, all-American desserts. For Kathleen King, founder and owner of the nationally-acclaimed bakery, homespun Americana just comes naturally.

When the magazine "Every Day with Rachael Ray" set out to find America's best-tasting chocolate chip cookie, they singled out Tate's Bake Shop's deliciously natural, caramel-tinged signature cookie as the best of the best. How Kathleen King came to set her treats apart from the rest is a testament to Kathleen's stick-to-itiveness and down-home authenticity.

Named after her father, Tate King, Tate's Bake Shop is a widely recognized brand, sold in key gourmet retail stores across the country; but simple, down-home Americana is at the heart of Tate's. "It's easy for me to do," Kathleen says, "because that's who I am."

Born and raised on Southampton's North Sea Farm, Kathleen has always been self-sufficient. At age eleven, hoping to make enough money to buy her own school clothes, she sold small batches of her chocolate chip cookies to the neighbors from a fold-out card table on her parents' farmstead. Meticulously baked by hand using the freshest ingredients including real butter, the all-natural chocolate chip cookie was a neighborhood sensation. Soon Kathleen was selling more cookies than her father was selling eggs.

By the time she was in high school, King was baking 12-hours a day, perfecting her recipes and making a name for herself within the fashionable communities on the South Fork of Long Island. Kathleen's baking put her through college, and as the demand for her cookies kept growing, she moved her business out of her family's kitchen and opened her own bakery at age 20. King then launched a wholesale business, selling her cookies to specialty and gourmet shops in Manhattan, including the legendary Balducci's Market.

Nearly three decades later, Kathleen King continues to raise the bar in the baking industry. Her award-winning cookies are now sold at over 5,000 gourmet retailers throughout the United States and on her robust e-bakery, www.tatesbakeshop.com.

King's Southampton bakery -- Tate's Bake Shop - is the recipient of multiple best bakery awards and is regarded as a "must-visit" Hamptons' destination. Thousands of customers each week enjoy the shop's more than 100 offerings, including breads, muffins, cakes, pies, seasonal specialties, and of course, cookies!

With a commitment to using nothing but fresh, preservative-free ingredients, and a simple, straightforward approach to baking, Kathleen King has earned a variety of awards and honors. On September 25, 2012, she released Baking for Friends (hardcover, 208 pages), the highly anticipated follow-up cookbook to The Tate's Bake Shop Cookbook (2005, St. Martin's Press, foreword by Ina Garten). Baking for Friends is inspired by Kathleen's desire to share the joy of gourmet baking, and the new book showcases incredible new recipes, features exclusive baking tips, and gives fans across the country a taste of the effortless style that makes Kathleen King the Hamptons' most beloved baker.

5.0 out of 5 stars Darnit, now I have to buy it! September 30, 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I checked this book out of the library thinking I'd copy a recipe or two. I'm trying to cut down on my cookbook collection. After making the chocolate thumbprint cookies, cherry chip cake, and the chunkies, and marking and drooling over at least 10 other recipes I can't wait to try, I realized I was going to have to buy this book.

The Cherry chip cake is genius. I love maraschino cherries, eating them first off my ice cream sundae or digging in my Cherry limeade drink for the cherry. A cake, based on the old cherry chip boxed cakes, was fabulous. I used the juice to tint the icing pink, a tip she gives, I think the three guys I live with thought it was a little girly but it did not stop them from eating it!

Baking for friends is more accessible than bake shop type recipes. I don't have the other Tate bakeshop books, but I find many other bake shop books are hard to translate into home baking.

The recipes are more what you'd bake for your kids school party or a dinner for friends. This isn't to say there aren't some really attractive impressive recipes, including a chocolate tart with raspberry filling I can't wait to try. It's more that the ingredients are readily available and the directions easy to follow for a beautiful result without a lot of the stressful frou frou work found in many bake shop recipes.

The beginning of the book is important to read, how she measures flour, salted vs unsalted butter etc, will make a difference in how her recipes turn out for the baker trying to duplicate her results.

It is taking a really special book to get a space in my groaning overstuffed shelves anymore, but this one has earned a spot. I would write more but I'm about to go wrestle my son for the last chunkie, a son btw who doesn't like raisins but likes these cookies.

*updated 12/10/12 I still love this book, when I am in the mood for baking I reach past the 30 0r so other baking books I have to check through this one first. The chocolate almond biscotti is so good, I may never by store bought again! The cardamom cake has the perfect amount of spice. The Rocky Road Muffins are so good and hold up really well. For the almond flour I ground almonds in my vitamix. And last but not least- the Cinnamon swirl scones are pretty much worth the price of the book. The scones mimic the taste of cinnamon rolls or buns but without the kneading, rising, etc. A super fast easy and delicious special breakfast for Christmas, or a lazy Sat when you want the taste to have with coffee but don't want to put the time and effort into making a bread. if you are on the fence, have to many cookbooks already (me), or someone asks what you want for Christmas, get this book :) yes, I'm gushing! The recipes in the book are totally gush worthy.

3.0 out of 5 stars If you really like pies February 21, 2013
By E
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Kathleen King's recipes always deliver. There are definitely recipes from this book I look forward to trying. If you love pies then you'll have a varied collection to choose from. The health & lifestyle chapter is a bit measley. My greatest disappointment with this book is the chocolate chip cookie recipe. I chose to buy Baking with Friends thinking that she had repeated the recipe from her earlier one in this new book. But alas, she shared the "Chubby Tate" recipe in the new book and I am a complete addict of the thinner ones. So now I have both books. Both this and Tate's Bake Shop Cookbook have chocolate chip cookies on their front cover so don't be deceived.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book December 5, 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm just going to work my way through this book, start to finish. Read it like a novel, nothing I did not like. Have made her recipes before and they have always come out well. I especially like her cakes. Made the cranberry sauce crumb bars and they were great. Even my husband who is not a big cranberry sauce fan ate them up.
