A collection of stories from three decades of craft, community, and cookies at Levain Bakery.
It’s amazing what a cookie can do. A really good cookie, that is. It can spark a romance, comfort in time of need, relay gratitude and smooth over a gaffe. It can even bring a community together. In short, a great cookie can be the start of an even greater story. To celebrate its 30th anniversary, this book brings together the stories of Levain Bakery in a beautifully designed, carefully curated book—filled with photographs, custom illustrations, and a small selection of our favorite recipes. (No cookie recipes—we’re keeping those secret!)
Founders and bakers Connie McDonald and Pam Weekes personally recount how Levain became the success it is today—from building a client list in Anthony Bourdain’s kitchen and later beating Bobby Flay in a chocolate chip cookie-off to becoming a bicoastal enterprise while retaining a small business’s dedication to community. An homage to the bakery and the city where it originated, the perfect gift for cookie fans, as well as a collectible souvenir from this iconic New York institution.
10% of the proceeds of this book will be donated to Hot Bread Kitchen, an organization committed to creating economic opportunity through culinary job skills training.

About the Author
Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald are best friends and accomplished bakers who started out baking bread for some of New York City’s favorite restaurants. After stints in the fashion and finance industries in the late 1980s, the two eventually gave up their day jobs to open a small bread shop on West 74th Street. They called it Levain Bakery, borrowing the French word for “leavened bread.” It was 1995, and the small Levain team lovingly baked every loaf, baguette, roll, and cookie by hand every day. Now 30 years later, everything is still made and baked by hand daily, and Pam and Connie have brought the joy of Levain to more neighborhoods and cookie enthusiasts around the country. Their cozy shop has become a neighborhood favorite and a destination for epicurious travelers from around the world.
Claudine Ko is a journalist and writer who lives on the Upper West Side of New York City.
