Mondays with Maida, which Lee Gomes referenced in his <a href="http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB121193539466324749.html">column</a> today, is a project I finished last November. Here are links to the full <a href="http://mondayswithmaida.blogspot.com/2004/11/mondays-with-maida-archive.html">archive</a> for the project, the cookie panel's <a href="http://mondayswithmaida.blogspot.com/2005/06/cookie-panels-top-ten.html">top ten</a>, and <a href="http://mondayswithmaida.blogspot.com/2005/09/nutrition-facts.html">nutrition data</a> for the recipes. You can always find these links in my sidebar as well. I can't recommend the book highly enough - Maida is great and her recipes are delicious. The book I used (which I refer to as the "old book") is out of print, but still available through <a href="http://www.ecookbooks.com/p-10861-maida-heatters-book-of-great-cooki.aspx">Jessica's Biscuit</a>. Nearly all the recipes from the book were also reprinted in a later compilation (the "new book") which is still in print and available at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Heatters-Cookies-Heatter-Classic-Library/dp/0836237331/ref=pd_bbs_sr_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1212029678&sr=8-4">Amazon</a>. I'm partial to the old book for sentimental reasons and because of the charming drawings by Maida's daughter.<br /><br />To my old friends... I was mentioned in the Wall Street Journal!! I still think there was some mistake :) The other bloggers mentioned in the article are tackling some truly challenging cookbooks including The French Laundry Cookbook and the Gourmet Cookbook. A weekly batch of cookies seems quite modest in comparison!Cathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.com
