  • Megan, It'southward wonderful to learn about Paula. I bought the Fine art of Fine Baking in 1978 at Barnes & Noble in Manhattan and accept kept information technology as one of my treasured books.

    I just bought a 1961 press and it seems to be printed in sepia rather than black ink. Unexpected and very absurd.

    Can you fill up in the biographical details about your grandmother and now that I have learned a little about your grandpa, almost them both. I've always had great marvel. I accept no idea when Paula was born, how old she was in '61 and how much writing did she do. Can y'all postal service any pictures?

    I'one thousand certain anyone who reads cookbooks, as many of u.s.a. do, wants to know all virtually her.

  • I just moved across country and The Art of Fine Baking is to be shipped with my other melt books. i was hoping to find your grandmothers Croquets aux Filberts on line and ended up e-mailing a pastry chef friend who I worked with 30 years ago in S.F. Both of us worked for Patisserie'due south/restaurants that claimed your grandmothers recipes as their own secret recipes. The two of us would roll our eyes, since nosotros were both such big fans of the book and new precisely where the original could be found! In whatever case, I do desire to weigh in and say that The Art of Fine Baking is one of my favorite and most trusted references, and I think that the Croquets aux Filberts are my absolute favorite cookies always! Glad I stumbled on your blog.

I'm in the process of redeveloping my recipe page so that favorite Paula Peck recipes are easier to find.
