Great Canadian Cookies celebrates the cookie in all its glorious home-baked incarnations, from sea to sea and bay to border. In her quest for the best, chef Pamela Steel gathered and collected recipes from pastry chefs, bakers, moms, and grandmoms from every nook and cranny of Canada. Pamela's obsession with cookies ("I never met a cookie I didn't like") has led her into fascinating territory: cheekily, she explores the history of the cookie (it's an illustrious one), the science behind the cookie (how it crumbles!) and the changing face of the Canadian cookie.

More of what's baking:

• variations on the chocolate chip cookie
• West Coast, East Coast, French Canadian, and Northern cookies
• seasonal cookies
• and (surprise!) low-fat cookies
