Publisher's Synopsis
As far back as I can remember, my grandma would invite me and my sisters to bake in her kitchen, allowing each of us to choose our cookie project. She would set us up at our own 'stations' throughout the kitchen and invite the chaos to begin. In this book, I impart to you all that I have learned, invented, and stumbled upon. My hope is that my children learn from me the joy and satisfaction that creating in the kitchen brings. No matter the outcome, I have learned from Grandma that nothing that comes from the kitchen is a mistake when you add love to the mix! --From the Introduction - - As the celebrity mom to eight growing-and hungry-kids, Kate Gosselin knows her way around the kitchen, bestowing her passion for cooking onto her brood of budding chefs.
