Crumbs: Cookies and Sweets from Around the World (Ben Mims)

Phaidon has done authoritative bibles of cuisine for various countries and regions, but now they deliver a monster on one of the world's favorite foods: COOKIES!!!

The book begins with a general instructional guide for the preparation of cookies, with everything you need to know about essential set-up, ingredients, and methods. Then come the recipes, arranged in atlas form: bake your way around the world with 300 recipes from 100 countries.

Each recipe includes a history and other relevant information. Did you know that Persia was the birthplace of the cookie?​

Throughout, there are flags for gluten-free, vegan, 5 ingredients or less, and then at the end an extensive index so that you can find whatever you crave.
