The Village Baker’s Wife — The Desserts And Pastries That Made Gayle's Famous, by Gayle and Joe Ortiz, with Louisa Beers, © 1997
If I never could visit Gayle’s Bakery in Capitola, California again, I think I would survive as long as I still have this wonderful cookbook. Everything in it is delicious, extravagant, and a work of art!
The "Pecan Schneckens" on page 68 are my absolute favorite, no matter if I get them at the bakery or make them myself. The cooking instructions are top-quality. I don't think you'd could get anything better, even in a cooking school.
This is definitely one of my top ten favorite cookbooks. I keep it in mind for when I want to create something special, for a special occasion. And I also keep a note to myself to eliminate or substitute the sugar amount with a different sweetener like Sucanat whole sugar or brown rice syrup and reduce the amount by at least half!
