I was so excited to finally receive my book this week! I love all the tips and your family's story.

I finally conquered macarons! I could be more excited and can't wait to make lots of flavors now that I have the shell right. Wishing you continued success and hopefully another tv show, you are missed.

Congratulations, Zoe! I've followed you for years and you've helped me understand all the ins and outs of baking as I made my way to writing my own grain-free recipes based on many of the classics you cover. Even the little stuff, like making my own vanilla extract, inspired me. Best wishes, Erica

I’ve been loving the book! We met briefly at your NYC signing. I was very excited to try your alfajores and wanted to let you know that they’re a 10/10! My Latin American husband also loved them. The potato starch is a great addition—I appreciated that when freshly baked the cookie almost shatters in the mouth and while very short and tender they’re less crumbly than their cornstarch counterparts. Thanks for a great book—I can’t wait to continue baking my way through it!!

It was such a pleasure to meet you at Now Serving in LA! Made the caramelita bars for a tailgate this weekend and we demolished those bars, so yummy! Already got requests to please make sure I make them for our next tailgate! Can't wait to try more recipes and dig in to the cookie academy sections!
