This 166 Page Gingerbread Cookie Recipe Cookbook is an overall look at Gingerbread including the History and Many Recipes for Cookies and Gingerbread Cakes.

Growing up in the cultural center of Salzburg Austria, a city who boasts not only Mozart but the most exclusive dining and food experiences on earth, Vanessa has put some of her best gingerbread cookie recipes into this All About Gingerbread Cookbook.
This book came about because – and only because – Dean kept bugging her to do it! She is an expert baker and had been accumulating and perfecting old and modern Gingerbread Cookie Recipes for many years.
