Life is short. Eat dessert first!

Whether I'm creating specialty cupcakes for a baby shower, making hundreds of mini desserts for a Yelp event, or simply baking some cookies for friends - I absoloutely adore desserts!  Sugar? Yes! Flour? Oh yeh! Chocolate? Gimme, gimme! 

Pastries Not Potatoes is not only a blog, but my tiny little dessert only catering company as well.  I've been in the food business for more than ten years and I can't think of anything better than to share my love of food with not only Chicago, but the world!

    The State of the Cookie

    DateMonday, December 15, 2008 at 07:05AM

    My dear friend, Alan Cox sent me this recent blog from the folks over at Slate.

    It's an interesting commentary on what qualifies as a cookie and how we as a culture became obsessed with them.  I find it a great article in part because it is the holiday season, and the most popular time of year for cookies to take center stage.  Enjoy.
