Food with Mark Bittman

5d ago • 32 mins

The food writer and cookbook author – most recently of Crumbs: Cookies and Sweets from Around the World – talks to Mark and Kate about COOKIES. Do we take them for granted? What constitutes a cookie? Plus, the most interesting things Ben learned in his research, how cookies have evolved to suit the changing times, his favorite cookie recipes for the holidays, and what it was like to test and taste 300 cookie recipes.


The Bittman Project is featuring two recipes from Crumbs:


Brown Sugar Cinnamon Cookies (Speculoos)
