Making Whoopies: The Official Whoopie Pie Book
Author: Nancy Griffin
Whoopie pies could be declared the official Maine dessert, and many assert that is exactly where the rotund chocolate confection originated—Maine. However, individuals from Pennsylvania seem to have an equally strong claim to the honor. No matter— aficionados in both locales never tire of the giant sandwich cookies! These comfort-food treats are enjoying a renaissance as bakeries on the Internet offer gourmet versions—shipped anywhere. This little book is a wide-ranging, lighthearted look at whoopie pies and the folks who love them. This book is a 2010 top gift idea for sure.
