Review "Nancy Silverton is a force of nature, bringing maximum imagination and exacting technique to anything she cooks or bakes. A simple peanut butter cookie becomes not only the supreme example of a peanut butter cookie (moist, chewy, crackled on top and perfectly rounded at the edges) but something that tastes more of itself — hers has a spoonful of peanut butter in the center, into which she nestles a pile of roasted and salted Spanish peanuts. Its the life-changing cookie that sparked the idea for her latest cookbook. With The Cookie That Changed My Life, Silverton takes classic American baked goods — banana bread, scones, twice-baked croissants, granola, cinnamon rolls — and makes the best possible version in the universe." —Betty Hallock, Los Angeles Times (The best cookbooks of 2023)"Every baker needs this book. The recipes sound so enticing and look so appealing you will want to make them all. And Nancys directions are so foolproof you will be happy that you did." —Ruth Reichl; author of Save Me the Plums "Whenever Nancy bakes or cooks she wins over even the most discerning palette! When it comes to the home or professional baker this book is a MUST!" —Wolfgang Puck"Nancy Silverton baked a brioche so perfect that it brought Julia Child to tears. She baked bread so remarkable that it brought thousands to her door hoping to learn from her. She baked from her heart, and she baked from her soul. She baked frpom curiosity and from passion. And she led the way for all of us to try to do the same. Today, its easy to take artisan breads, simple cakes and unfussy desserts with full flavors for granted, but thats because Nancy showed us how to strip away the extras and spotlight the essentials. Shes still doing that and were all still learning from her." —Dorie Greenspan; author of Dories Cookies"This book should be an American staple in every household. Having eaten one of Nancys cookies, I need to rest after my sugar high - and dream of tomorrows cookie that will change my life." — Dominique Crenn; restaurateur/chef Atelier Crenn"Nancy is such a talented author and an accomplished baker, and in her new book she perfected and personalized many familiar recipes of pies, cookies, and cakes. It is always refreshing and motivating to see a new book that pays homage to the classics. And everyone should know that Nancy will always add a personal and delicious twist." —Daniel Boulud; Chef & Restaurateur"Nancy is a curious chef and baker. She wants to try things to understand if they are as good as they are supposed to be or not, or even better than expected . I am not as curious as she. Nancy Is taking classic desserts, baked treats, and asking, I know this is the classic recipe but can we do it better? Make it more delicious? If I were ever to make a peanut butter cookie, do you know where I am going to look for the recipe? Right here in this cookbook. Because I know that Nancy wouldnt let me down. Not when it is so important to her to get it right.That is why we all need this book." —Massimo Bottura; restaurateur and chef patron Osteria Francescana"I am always excited by a new Nancy Silverton cookbook. But I was not prepared to be gobsmacked! This is truly a cookie, cake, savory and bakery tome. Nancy has chosen classical and new bakery recipes from her friends, colleagues and mentors. Nancy has remastered these recipes in a way only she can. The resulting cookbook includes new takes on corn bread, banana bread, snickerdoodles and peanut butter cookies, all delivered with tour de force. Nancy has that unique ability to extract every last bit of flavor from the most ordinary of ingredients. Nancy transforms bakery classics into ethereal treats. You will not be able to put this cookbook down!" —Jonathan Waxman; Chef & Restaurateur; author of The Barbuto Cookbook"When chef Nancy Silverton opened La Brea Bakery in Los Angeles in 1989, there were very few places in the city dedicated to making artisan bread. The bakery immediately drew lines around the block, and it has inspired bakers and pastry chefs everywhere, including myself. I devoured her previous books—and this one did not disappoint. The Cookie That Changed My Life is a collection of recipes that, Silverton says, are "the absolute best version of themselves." . . . The ultimate chocolate cookie calls for two kinds of cocoa powder, cacao nibs, and a fudgy topping of walnuts, resulting in a cookie that tastes like a nut-studded brownie. Even better are the peanut butter cookies, the cookies referred to in the books title. . . Silvertons version is dolloped with peanut butter and crowned with toasted peanuts for additional texture and nutty flavor. Creamy, crunchy, chewy, and salty-sweet, its worth purchasing silvertons book for this recipe alone." —Genevieve Yam, Bon Appétit "L.A.-based culinary icon Silverton . . . tinkered with pastry during the pandemic, and the result was this collection of over 100 recipes, tinged with her wisdom as a veteran professional baker. Classics fill the pages, from banana bread and peanut butter cookies to Bundt cake, bread pudding and devils food cake with fudge frosting. More inventive takes dot the collection, like marzipan cake, black sesame white chocolate cookies, pecorino and parmesan scones, and raisin brown butter tart, though Silvertons focus is on whats craveable and not simply on whats trending. . . . This is a nice reminder to the amateur baker that everyone can use a culinary refresh on occasion." —Jessica S. Levy, Booklist "Does anyone really need another recipe for banana bread, lemon bars, or carrot cake? The answer is yes, if those recipes come from James Beard Award–winning baking doyenne Silverton (Chi Spacca). In her latest impeccably crafted cookbook. . . the Californian restaurateur and baker gathers together more than 100 of her ingenious takes on classic cakes, cookies, muffins, and pies, along with a few offerings provided by culinary friends. The recipes included here require no special culinary techniques or skills, but Silverton does take her baking seriously, and she expects readers to do so too. Fortunately for novice bakers, every recipe is broken down into detailed steps that ensure success if faithfully followed. The book delightfully illuminates Silvertons delicious philosophy of baking. . . home bakers trying to up their dessert game will find that Silvertons superbly written guide hits the sweet spot." —John Charles, Library Journal (starred review) "It all started with a peanut butter cookie." This simple line opens acclaimed chef Nancy Silvertons latest cookbook and underscores the profound epiphany it elicited: everything should taste this good. It spurred her to create a collection of 100+plus recipes that read like the platonic ideal of classic American baked goods like Lemon Bars, Carrot Cake with Brown Butter Cream Cheese Frosting and Lattice-Topped Apple Pie. Were especially smitten by the inventive recipes showcasing Silvertons creativity, like Iced Raisin Bars that eat like a better fig newton and Double-Decker Chocolate Cookies (because double chocolate equals double deliciousness). Whether youre seeking out new baked goods to add to your repertoire or want to perfect the classics, this baking book just might change your life.—Layla Khoury-Hanold, Food Network (Best Baking Cookbooks of 2023) "Nancy Silvertons newest offering, The Cookie That Changed My Life, is a journey into the transformative power of desserts.

With so many classic recipes, this cookbook has some of the best baking recipes you can find, and it may even be the last one youll ever need on your shelf." —Dani Zoeller, Tasting Table "The Cookie That Changed My Life is a heart-warming cookbook full of delicious and easy-to-make recipes; the whole family can make them at home, and they will love it. Nancys passion and love for her craft really shines through in this cookbook—and rubs off!" —René Redzepi; chef of Noma "Let there be dancing in the streets… Nancy Silverton is sharing her sweet magic with us, once again!
