| The recipes in this charming series of books are arranged in alphabetical order with two or three recipes per letter. But these pretty little books (about 6 1/2 inches square) are more than recipes. Beginning with the dedication page and opening essay each is reminiscent of events in the author's childhood that influenced her interest in food and cooking. |

| Bar Cookies A to Z is dedicated to her beloved pets— all long gone to pet heaven— who were always hanging out in the kitchen hoping to score a crumb or two. The opening essay honors her Nana who was a guiding light for a brood of 17 grandchildren and a very special mentor to Simmons. There is a photograph preceding the essay of Simmons (approximately 12 years old) and her Nana (ageless). They are all smiles and obviously share mutual love and admiration. |
