One crisp Ohio autumn in St. Anne’s Hill, I gathered Dayton’s favorite cookie recipes, tucked them into a little book (still available digitally below), and—poof!—it sold out quicker than a warm tray of snickerdoodles. Five years later, another dreamy, small-batch cookie book is on the way—a handmade collection of recipes that taste like Dayton’s sweetest stories.

✨ Releasing just in time for the holidays! ✨

Butter-stained recipe cards from Grandma’s kitchen drawer, notes scrawled in the margins of old Rotary cookbooks, fresh creations from Dayton chefs, and stories baked right in. This isn’t just a cookbook; it’s a heaping helping of Dayton’s heart, dusted with cinnamon sugar and served with plenty of heart.
