It’s amazing what a cookie can do. A really good cookie, that is. It can spark a romance, comfort in time of need, relay gratitude and smooth over a gaffe. It can even bring a community together. In short, a great cookie can be the start of an even greater story. To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the stories of Levain Bakery are weaved together in a beautifully designed, carefully curated book—filled with photographs and custom illustrations.

10% of the proceeds of this book will be donated to Hot Bread Kitchen, an organization committed to creating economic opportunity through culinary job skills training.
