At age eleven, Kathleen King began selling her oversized chocolate chip cookies at her family's farm in eastern Long Island. As her reputation and clientele grew, she earned enough to send herself to restaurant school and, in 1980, to open Kathleen's Bake Ship in Southhampton, New York. The shop, now with an additional location in Manhattan, has become famous for its freshly baked, old-fashioned cookies, muffins, breads, pies, brownies, and cakes.
The simple recipes collected here include such traditional favorites as Molasses Cookies, Lemon Bars, Peasant Bread, Buttermilk Biscuits, Peach Crumb Pie, Oat-Bran Muffins, Carrot Cake, Blueberry Buckle, Yellow Cake with Chocolate Icing, and, of course, unbeatable Chocolate Chip Cookies. Southhampton residents have enjoyed Kathleen's kitchen wizardry for nearly a decade. Now her best recipes are available to home bakers everywhere.

Summary: Less expensive alternative from same author
Comment: Right now, this book is out of print and selling used for over $300 dollars based on the current prices listed in Amazon. That's bloody outrageous.
If you want these recipes, don't bother buying this. Kathleen King lost the rights to the "Kathleen's Bake Shop" trademark, but she has a new cookbook available from her new business venture: Tate's Bake Shop. Buy the Tate's Bake Shop Cookbook instead of the older overpriced book listed here.

Summary: Good recipes, but a bit skimpy on variety and content.
Comment: The recipes contained in Kathleen's Bake Shop Cookbook are good, but standard for what they are, meaning generally to be found in larger cookbooks such as Betty Crocker's or Better Homes & Gardens. And the main complaint I have beyond lack of uniqueness and variety is that the book itself is too small. There are only 132 pages total in this little volume and that includes the index and lots of non-recipe pages. The cover price seems a bit high for only a few dozen recipes. It might be a good starter baking volume for beginning cooks, however.

Summary: KATHLEEN'S BAKE SHOP COOKBOOK
Comment: KATHLEEN'S RECIPES ARE FANTASTIC-EVERYTHING I MAKE FROM HER COOKBOOK IS WONDERFUL. ESPECIALLY GOOD IS THE DARK CHOCOLATE DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE RECIPE WITH THE CHOCOLATE FROSTING. A CO-WORKER INTRODUCED ME TO KATHLEEN'S BAKE SHOP COOKBOOK - WHICH I PHOTOCOPIED PAGE BY PAGE. AFTER TRYING MANY OF KATHLEEN'S RECIPES, I DECIDED THAT I NEEDED A PROPER, BOUND BOOK (THE PHOTOCOPIED PAGES WERE STARTING TO TEAR AND FADE). I BOUGHT THREE BOOKS, ONE FOR ME, MY DAUGHTER AND MY FRIEND. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH ANY OF KATHLEEN'S RECIPES. SHE HAS SIMPLIFIED MANY RECIPES AND IMPROVED ON OTHERS. ALSO ESPECIALLY GOOD, AND EASY TO MAKE, IS HER IRISH SODA BREAD. THIS BOOK WILL EASILY BECOME ONE OF YOUR FAVORITES; IT DEFINITELY IS ONE OF MINE.

Summary: This is my favorite cookbook (& my roomates too)
Comment: I have been going to Kathleen's bakeshop in Southampton for years and remember buying her cookies and pies at farm stands throughout the Hamptons. I have often used my mother's copy until she bought me a copy for Christmas one year in fear that I would steal it. The muffins are to die for especially the pineapple-orange and the Chocolate Mousse Cake is heaven. I have a quick trick for the whipped cream topping too. Use organic heavy cream because it makes a stiffer whipped cream and last longer too. I have to admit that I am traditionalist and make the chocolate chip cookies. I love them because they are crisp and buttery. This cookbook is not for dieters because you will eat more than one. My roomate can vouch for that too.

Summary: A very pleasant surprise
Comment: I was really surprised by this book. It is simply wonderful. She has a nice variety of recipes in here, cakes, pies, tarts, cookies, and brownies that are to die for. The book isn't well known, and it should be. The recipes are written in an easy to follow manner, and will have you baking up delicious treats for the special people in your life in no time. I also liked her anecdotes, on what worked, and how she came across some of her recipes. Looking for a book to spruce up your baking, go no further!
