Recipe for S'mores Bars from Cake & Loaf Gatherings by Nickey Miller and Josie Rudderham

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

This cookbook is overflowing with sweet things to bake, and a few savory ones too. I started with this gooey, yummy s’mores bars recipe, then the black and white coffee cake. Next on my list: a fresh vegetable pizza, peach custard pie, walnut snowball cookies, gingersnaps, and tiramisu jars. Sweet.

Recipe for Lemon Cake from Sweet Little Cakes from Mrs. Zabar’s Bakeshop: Perfect Desserts for Sharing by me, Tracey Zabar

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

Although I often find myself baking desserts for dozens of people, such as my family or our local FDNY friends, sometimes you just want a little treat. I spent a year scaling down some of my favorite cake recipes. I hope they will become yours, too. Try the Every-Day Chocolate Cake, Cranberry Orange Cake, Cheesecake with Cherry Sauce, Chocolate Chip Madeleines, or my favorite, babkas, with four different fillings. Then go back in the kitchen to make an adorable Gumdrop Cake, Pear Cake, or a small batch of Cupcakes. Happy baking!
